A study on the nutritional and toxic substances from leaves of four wild food plants consumed by the riparian population of Yoko forest reserve in Ubundu Territory in the Tshopo province of the Democratic Republic of Congo was made before cooking. It appears from this study that these berries may constitute dietary supplements of value as regards the crude protein, fat, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and vitamins. However, many of these plants may also contain toxic substances (nitrites, nitrates and cyanides) or undesirable substances (alkaloids, tannins, sterols and terpenes). All these results justify the use of these plants by the riparian population of Yoko forest reserve in Ubundu Territory in the province of Tshopo.

Abstract: (french)
Une étude sur la composition en substances nutritive et toxique des feuilles de quatre plantes alimentaires sauvages consommées par la population riveraine de la réserve forestière de la Yoko, territoire d’Ubundu dans la province de la Tshopo en République Démocratique du Congo a été effectuée avant cuisson. Il ressort de cette étude que ces fruits sauvages peuvent constituer des compléments alimentaires de valeur en ce qui concerne les protéines brutes, les lipides, le calcium, le magnésium, le fer, le phosphore et les vitamines. Cependant, beaucoup de ces plantes contiennent parfois également des substances toxiques (nitrites, nitrates et cyanures) ou indésirables (alcaloïdes, tanins, stérols et terpènes). L’ensemble de ces résultats justifie la consommation de ces plantes par la population riveraine de la réserve forestière de la Yoko, territoire Ubundu en province de la Tshopo.
