    Abstract: Many studies have focused on the phytochemical, antioxidant, and mineral content of red monkey kola (Cola Millenii K. Schum), but there is little or no information on the fatty acid composition of this unique and underutilized plant, which is widely consumed in Africa. With this in mind, the fatty acid composition of the red monkey kola fruit and b... Show More
