Abstract

Cowpea seedsare a food legume rich in natural antioxidants. However, in Côte d'Ivoire, inefficient and sometimes unhealthy storage and preservation methods stand in the way of its production and food use. In the present work, triple-bottom bags combined or not with Lippia multiflora leaves have been proposed as a substitute for synthetic storage products. To evaluate this system, the phenolic compounds and antioxidant micronutrients of cowpea seeds were monitored over an 8-month period using a central composite design (CCD). Results for antioxidant quality parameters show a significant influence (P < 0.05) between treatment type and shelf life. After 8 months of storage, the rates of loss of total phenols, flavonoids, iron, zinc, manganese, α-tocopherol and percentage antioxidant activity of cowpea seeds recorded in triple-bottom bags combined with biopesticide were: 2-12%, 4-9%, 4-18%, 7-20%, 10-15%, 10% and 2-18% respectively. In the triple bagging system without biopesticide (H0), the values recorded after 4.5 months are respectively around 24%, 19%, 29%, 35%, 26%, 20% and 24% for total phenols, flavonoids, iron, zinc, manganese, α-tocopherol and antioxidant activity. Whereas in the control polypropylene bag (TST), those obtained after 4.5 months are respectively: 36%, 67%, 53%, 57%, 52%, 50% and 63%. Overall, the results obtained indicated a stable antioxidant quality of cowpeas during the first 5 months in the triple bagging system without biopesticide and during 8 months in the triple bagging systems combined with Lippia multiflora leaves. However, the minimum proportion of 2.5% Lippia multiflora leaves is desirable for maintaining the antioxidant quality parameters of preserved cowpea seeds.
