Abstract

Aim: In Burkina Faso, low micronutrients intake is one of factors responsible of under five years children malnutrition. Research on local food to find best vegetables rich in micronutrients is a way to improve children nutrition. The aim of this study is to assess micronutrients content of Solanum aethiopicum and Solanum melongena grown in Burkina Faso. Methodology: From three markets of Ouagadougou city, fresh samples of fruits of the two plants have been purchased. After one month drying in laboratory at 25°C, the dried samples were used to determine content of of Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Potassium (K) , Sodium (Na), Phosphor (P), Iron (Fe) and Zinc (Zn) using flam photometer and atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Results: The results showed high content of K, Mg and Ca in the fruits. The content of Na, P is also satisfying. Fe and Zn known as trace elements are also well represented in the two fruits. The values were 3582, 187, 126, 87, 29, 21 and 2 mg/100 g for K, Mg, Ca, Na, P, Fe and Zn, respectively for the fruits of S. aethiopicum. S. melongena fruits had 2991, 317, 207, 135, 30, 6 and 4 mg/100 g for K, Ca, Mg, Na, P, Fe and Zn, respectively. Conclusion: These two fruits are important sources of micronutrients and must be included in children diet to improve their nutritional status.

布基纳法索食用的埃塞俄比亚茄和黑龙葵水果微量营养素的评估

目的:在布基纳法索，微量营养素摄入量低是造成五岁以下儿童营养不良的因素之一。研究当地食物，寻找富含微量营养素的最佳蔬菜是改善儿童营养的一种方式。本研究的目的是评估在布基纳法索种植的埃塞俄比亚茄和龙葵的微量营养素含量。方法:从瓦加杜古市的三个市场购买了这两种植物的新鲜水果样本。样品在实验室25℃干燥一个月后，用火焰光度计和原子吸收分光光度计测定钙(Ca)、镁(Mg)、钾(K)、钠(Na)、磷(P)、铁(Fe)和锌(Zn)的含量。结果:果实中钾、镁、钙含量高。Na、P的含量也令人满意。被称为微量元素的铁和锌在这两种水果中也有很好的表现。K、mg、Ca、Na、P、Fe和Zn的含量分别为3582、187、126、87、29、21和2 mg/100 g。K、Ca、mg、Na、P、Fe和Zn的含量分别为2991、317、207、135、30、6和4 mg/100 g。结论:这两种水果是儿童微量营养素的重要来源，应纳入儿童膳食中，以改善儿童营养状况。
