Özet

This study investigated the proximate composition, phytochemical profile, antioxidant potential, enzymatic inhibitory activity, and anti-inflammatory properties of African star apple seed meal. Proximate analysis revealed a high carbohydrate content (56.46±0.81%) alongside moderate levels of protein (12.15±0.71 %), crude fibre (14.54±0.95%), fat (3.27±0.27%), ash (3.94± 0.05%), and moisture (9.62±0.63%). Phytochemical screening indicated a high phenolic content (56.64±0.95mg GAE/g), with comparatively lower levels of saponins (9.71±0.16mg/g), flavonoids (1.90 mg ± 0.03QE/g), alkaloids (3.06±0.02mg/g), tannins (0.13±0.002mg/g), and steroids (9.17±0.001mg/g). Antioxidant assays demonstrated limited vitamin C content (2.74±0.004mg/g), low DPPH radical scavenging activity (17.00±1.66%) and FRAP capacity (4.70±0.07mg Vit C/g), but a notable lipid peroxidation inhibition (31.91±2.87%). Enzyme inhibition studies showed appreciable inhibitory effects on α-amylase (73.72±0.44%), lipase (46.86±0.65%), and α-glucosidase (32.02±0.05%). Additionally, the seed meal exhibited anti-inflammatory potential, with 24.03±0.71% albumin denaturation inhibition and 21.15±0.37% antiprotease activity. In conclusion, these results revealed that African star apple seed meal possessed moderate levels of antioxidant and nutritional compounds which could act as natural feed supplement in livestock diets and functional food ingredient for human health.

Abstract
