Shea nut kernel cake (SNC), a major by-product of the shea industry, is rich in carbohydrates and protein, but the presence of anti-nutritional factors, mainly theobromine and tannins, limits its use as animal feed material. The present work studied variations in the chemical composition of SNC from different shea nut processing industries in Ghana. Additionally, the work evaluated the effectiv...

Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) catalyzed shea nut shells, subjected to a one way activation scheme was employed to study the adsorption kinetics and mode of diffusion of industrial dye uptake. Thermodynamics data obtained in this study indicate that the sorption of dye spontaneously increases with time and decreases after equilibration was...

BACKGROUND Shea nut oil triterpene concentrate is considered to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Traditionally, it has been used to treat arthritic conditions in humans. This study aimed to investigate the effect of attenuating osteoarthritis (OA)-induced pain and joint destruction in rats by administering shea nut oil triterpene concentrate (SheaFlex75, which is more than 50%...
