Abstract

Spondias mombin is a tropical fruit widely consumed in several tropical countries. In Côte d'Ivoire, the fruits of Spondias mombin are consumed by the population without much interest. This is due to the lack of knowledge of the qualities of this fruit because there are few studies on its biochemical and physicochemical characteristics. This study therefore aims to determine the nutritional potential of the fruit. The analyzes showed that the fruit pulp is acidic with a pH between 2.20 and 2.97. It is also rich in sugar and has a quantity of soluble solids between 11 and 13° Brix. There are also proteins between 2.09 and 3.06 %, flavonoids from 2.09 to 3.41 mg/100 g, polyphenols from 25.40 to 38.22 mg/100 g, tannins from 69.64 to 142.61 mg/100 g and an energy value between 29.58 and 32.40 Kcal/100 g. Given the nutritional qualities of this fruit, the hog plum is a very interesting fruit to consider in the prevention of certain dietary imbalances and shows a real potential for use in the food processing industry.
