Phytochemical screening of the leaves of Adansonia digitata revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins and sterols while the ripe fruit pulp was rich in carbohydrates, flavonoids and sterols. The polysaccharide content from the leaves (20° ) and ripe fruit pulp (40%) were prepared, hydrolysed and analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively by GLC technique. Eleven sugars were identified in the mucilage hydroly sate of the leaves and nine sugars in the pectin hydrołysate of the pulp with rhamnose and glucose being the major, respectively. GLC analysis of the unsaponifiable matter as well as FAME of leaves, fruit pulp and seeds were conducted with significant differences. Also. analysis of the total proteins, total essential and non-essential amino acids content of the leaves, fruit pulp and seeds, were undertaken.
