The baobab tree, Adansonia digitata L. (Malvaceae), is a native of Africa. Baobab is a multipurpose tree that provides protection food, clothes and medicine, as well as raw materials for a verity of products. Baobab’s fruits pulp, seeds, leaves, flowers, roots and bark are edible and it is qualities have been researched by scientists. The fruit pulp has the large amount of vitamin C, calcium, Phosphate, crabs, fibers, potassium, proteins and lipids can be used an appetizer or drink. Seeds are high in lysin, thiamine, calcium and iron and include significant amount of phosphorous, magnesium, zinc, sodium, iron, and manganese. Antimicrobial, antimalarial, diarrhea, anemia, asthma, antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory characteristics are only a few of the biological qualities of baobab. Flavonoids, phytosterols, amino acids, fatty acid, vitamins and minerals were discovered by phytochemical analysis.Keywords
