Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this present study was conducted to determine the proximate composition, and minerals of black bean seeds (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) used to manage Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) in West Cameroon Region. Methods: The Proximate composition was estimated by the standard procedures of the AOAC. Mineral contents were determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Results: The results revealed that black bean seeds contained moisture (8.268%), ash (3.063%), crude fat (1.718%), total protein (29.169%), carbohydrate (58.107%), crude fiber (9.397%), total dietary fiber (21.833%) and energy value (276.994 Kcal/100 g). The minerals analysis showed that potassium has the highest value (51.648 mg/100 g), followed by Phosphorus (6.022 mg/100 g), Magnesium (3.867 mg/100 g), Chloride (0.425 mg/100 g) and iron (0.357 mg/100g), while Zinc was  the  least  (0.099 mg/100 g). Calcium was not detected. Conclusion: The results of the study revealed that black bean seeds used to manage Sickle Cell Disease in West Cameroon Region are a good source of important nutrients such as carbohydrate, protein, fat, fiber and minerals. This study concluded that black bean seed contained immense nutritional therapeutic importance in the management of Sickle Cell Disease.
