%X Saba senegalensis is a popular wild fruit; which is consumed
as such or transformed into various products. Despite its economic potential,
its nutritional potential is unknown. The objective of this study is to characterize its fruits
according to Senegal¡¯s main production areas. The study included five samples from five
geographical areas of Senegal. Parameters measured include pH, protein, lipids,
ash, moisture, vitamin C, carotenoids, polyphenols, minerals, and sugars. The
results showed that for moisture, proteins, lipids, pH and reducing sugars did
not differ significantly (p < 0.05%)
for all accessions. Vitamin C content varies between 32.86 and 198.22 mg·100g-1, carotenoids with a content of between 5.05 and
9.12 mg·100g-1; polyphenol contents are between 1.17 and 2.56 g·100g-1. The nutritional value of
