Anisophyllea boehmii is an indigenous and wild species in Burundi. Its fruits are edible and commercialized in local markets. This study investigates chemical quality, composition and toxicity test of A. boehmii kernel oil from two sites in eastern Burundi. Results of the present study reveal A. boehmii kernels to be an oil-rich source, yielding up to 29% of oil. Fatty acid composition analysis classifies these oils as palmitic. In fact, the main fatty acids are palmitic acid (36.47–39.55%) and oleic acid (18.83–22.21%). The analysis of minor compounds shows high tocopherols (485–657 mg kg⁻¹), phenols (82–135 mg kg⁻¹) and β-carotene (144–234 mg kg⁻¹) content. The physicochemical parameters analyzed make A. boehmii kernel a source of good quality oil. Furthermore, acute oral toxicity test reveals no toxicity of A. boehmii kernel oil. Results of the present study are decisive in adoption of A. boehmii kernel oil as an alternative source of edible oil.

Boisomii是布隆迪的一种土著和野生物种。其果实可食用，并在当地市场上商业化。这项研究调查了来自布隆迪东部两个地点的鲍氏米线仁仁油的化学质量，组成和毒性测试。本研究的结果表明，博伊曲霉仁是富含油的来源，最多可产生29％的油。脂肪酸组成分析将这些油分类为棕榈油。实际上，主要脂肪酸是棕榈酸（36.47-39.55％）和油酸（18.83-22.21％）。对次要化合物的分析显示，生育酚含量较高（485–657 mg kg ^-1），苯酚（82–135 mg kg ^-1）和β-胡萝卜素（144–234 mg kg ^-1）） 内容。分析的理化参数使A. boehmii仁成为优质油的来源。此外，急性口服毒性试验表明，勃姆曲霉仁油没有毒性。本研究的结果对于采用A. boehmii仁油作为食用油的替代来源具有决定性意义。
