| Sumario: | A partial chemical characterization of Lonchocarpus muehlbergianus Hassl. seeds(Leguminosae-Faboideae family) was carried out. The fruits were obtained from State Park “Morro doDiabo”, Teodoro Sampaio, SP, Brazil. Moisture, ash and lipid determination followed the gravimetric methods;that of protein was done according to Kjeldahl digestion process and the dietary fiber, the A.O.A.C.enzymatic-gravimeter method, modified by LEE et al. Inorganic elements and fatty acids were determinedthrough ICP-AES and GC, respectively. The seeds showed a high lipid (26,8 g/100g), protein (25,9 g/100g)and dietary fiber (18,4 g/100g) content. The major fatty acids components of the oily fraction were palmitic(11,65%), oleic (56,0%) and linolenic (12,9%), an essential w-3 fatty acid. Among the inorganic elements,high levels of P (0,214 g/100g), Mg (0,135 g/100g), K (0,458 g/100g) and low concentrations of Al(47 mg/g), Zn (33 mg/g) and Fe (23 mg/g) were found. The results favour the use of the seeds for enrichmentof rations and/or food products, nevertheless it suggested an investigation about rotenone, reported as atoxic substance present at leaves and roots of the Lonchocarpus genus. |
