Description

Mohamed Belemlilga and a large team worked to optimize extraction from Balanites aegyptiaca seeds. Their 2024 study serves traditional medicine in Africa. The tree's seeds are used for many ailments in human and animal care. Antiparasitic power is among the valued traits. Extraction method can shift what ends up in the final product.

The team used water maceration at several seed-to-water ratios. Soaking times ranged from a few hours to two days. Each extract was checked for yield and chemical profile. Saponin content, antioxidant power, and antiparasitic action were measured. The parasite tests used a model worm species. Results guide a standard method for making seed extracts.
