Implication

This analysis reveals that boiling enhances antioxidant activity and improves functional properties of African walnut, indicating its potential in functional foods.

Key Points

Boiling significantly reduced protein content, while enhancing crude fiber and ash content, implying better mineral availability.
Amino acid analysis highlighted high levels of glutamic acid, aspartic acid, leucine, and lysine, confirming good protein quality.
Boiled African walnuts showed improved antioxidant activity and decreased phytates, enhancing nutrient bioavailability.
Lipid quality analysis indicated increased oxidative stability but reduced unsaturation in boiled walnuts, highlighting quality trade-offs.
