Tiger nut and its by-products valorization: From extraction
Cold pressing is a widely used technique for industrial production of tiger nut oil (Koubaa et al., 2015, Lasekan and Abdulkarim, 2012). Several laboratory level researches have shown that tiger nut lipids can be extracted using organic solvents such as n-hexane, petroleum ether, ethanol etc., with a substantial yield ( Ekpe, Igile, Williams
The tuber of the Cyperus esculentus plant, more often known as tiger nut, is an excellent source of lipids, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytochemical constituents. According to current research, tiger nuts are high in tocopherols, monounsaturated fatty acids, polyphenols, and phytosterols. Because of their excellent physicochemical and nutritional properties, tiger
NUTRITIONAL IMPORTANCE AND THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL OF TIGER NUT
Tiger nut oil also contributes to the reduction of c holesterol levels, the risk of coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis. [54],[55] According to Hassan (2007), [56] a supplementation of 0.1
Using tiger nut oil, (Okyere & Odamtten, 2014) created and evaluated biofuel. According to the findings, transesterification of tiger nut oil produced methyl and ethyl esters with similar fuel properties to biofuels like soybean and jatropha oil. So that using tiger nut oil as a sustainable energy source might be a good choice.
Tiger nut and its by-products valorization: From extraction
The use of tiger nut beverage by-products (TNBP) obtained during the production of horchata have attracted the interest of both the food industry and the scientific community for the development of healthier products (Fig. 3) mainly due to their high dietary fiber content (59.71 g/100 g, 99.8% dietary fiber) (Sánchez-Zapata et al., 2009).
Tiger nut tuber of the Cyperus esculentus L. plant is an unusual storage system. Recent investigations clearly show that tiger nut is a valuable source of vegetable oils, rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, tocopherols, and phytosterols as well as high-added value compounds (proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and bioactive compounds).
Tiger Nut Oil (Cyperus esculentus L.): A Review of Its
The tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus L.) is an ideal raw material for oil extraction, but the starch-rich tiger nut meal, a by-product of oil extraction, has not been fully utilized.
Tiger nut oil, nevertheless, can also be made into biodiesel or used directly as fuel. For those poor nations without access to petroleum resources, these uses for tiger nut oil are very important. The oil content of the tubers of the tiger nut reaches 23–40%, and it has a relatively high yield (between 4.5 and 12 t ha1) . As a result, tiger
CHARACTERISTICS OF TIGERNUT (CYPERUS ..., Semantic Scholar
This article reports the effect of site and variety on some physicochemical characteristics of tigernuts (Cyperus esculentus) and consequently on its milk production. Two varieties (black and brown) from three different sites (Guily, Meme and Mayo-Oulo) in the Far North Province of Cameroon and three milk-processing conditions (grain size, soaking temperatures and grinding time) were assessed
The carbohydrate content of tiger nut tubers was found to be the first component in these tubers (45.73%) followed by oil content (30.01%). moreover; protein, ash and crude fiber of tiger nut
