Abstract:
Detarium microcarpum is a plant indigenous to Africa, which occurs naturally in many African countries, particularly in savannah regions. Its leaves and fruits are used mainly as food and as folk medicine. It has anti-diabetic, antioxidant, and hepatitis C inhibitor properties and has been traditionally utilised in cancer treatment. This review examines published work on the nutritional, pharmacological, and traditional uses of Detarium microcarpum. This plant may become valuable if the fruit, stems, roots, and leaves are extracted for nutraceutical purposes.
