This article, published in the Chemistry of Natural Compounds journal, explores the lipid contents and mineral elements of different cowpea genotypes. Cowpea is an important crop in arid and semi-arid regions of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The study examines the nutritional value of cowpea, including its high protein content, low fat content, vitamins, mineral substances, and dietary fibers. The research also analyzes the fatty acid composition of different cowpea genotypes, finding variations in the levels of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Additionally, the study investigates the mineral contents of different genotypes, identifying significant differences in the levels of various elements. This information can be valuable for researchers studying the nutritional composition and potential health benefits of cowpea. [Extracted from the article]
