Abstract: The nuts of Ricinodendron family have good nutritive value. The moisture rounded 6% with ashes varying from 2.6-13.3%. The lipids content are ranging from 39.7-65.97% and the carbohydrates up to 6.6%. The comparison of 3 lots harvested in R. Congo (Goka), Cameroon (Njansan) and D.R. Congo (Kingoma-Ngoma) gave great differences. The oil of Njansan has a α eleostearic acid to 40.98% while the oil of Goka contains 54.3% of linoleic acid as major component. The oil of Kingoma-Ngoma contains 39.42% of linoleic acid and 31.63% of linolenic acid. The thermal behavior gave a little contrast with one melting point at -30.5°C (Goka) or -27.1°C (Kingoma-Ngoma). The 3 nuts harvested in 3 countries of the central Africa are very different.
