Detarium microcarpum and Detarium senegalense are among the forest fruit plants found in several forests of Benin. Increasing studies are being carried out to date on the two species in Benin. However, the biochemical characterization of fruit remains incomplete. These fruits remain underexploited as a whole with significant postharvest losses despite interesting nutritional characteristics. The objective of this study was to compare the biometric, nutritional and antinutritional characteristics of fruits of the two species harvested in Benin. The analyzes focused on determining the mass and diameter of fruits, supplemented by biochemical analysis of pulp (water content, acidity, total sugars, lipids, proteins, ash, vitamin C, minerals and antinutritional compounds) by reference methods. For the parameters studied, statistical analysis showed significant differences at the level of several parameters (mass, diameter, dry matter, pH, titratable acidity, total sugars, vitamin C, flavonoids and tannins) of the fruits of these species. There are no significant differences for minerals (iron, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium), total polyphenols and phytates. It should be remembered that fruits of D. senegalense are larger (diameter: 46.16mm ± 0.025) and heavier (mass 35.3g ± 0.02) than those of D. microcarpum (diameter: 32.08mm ± 0.035 and mass: 16.075g ± 0.01). They are also richer in vitamin C (1977.23mg/100gFM ± 0.37) and more acidic (pH = 3.65 ± 0.01) than fruits of D. microcarpum (vitamin C: 1817.07mg/100gFM; pH = 6.288 ± 0.012). On the other hand, the fruits of D. microcarpum are smaller, sweeter (total sugars: 35.03% ± 0.085 against 23.70% ± 0.8) and less acidic. In view of the results obtained, a good orientation could be given to the field of efficient transformations of these fruits. Additional work on the in-depth characterization and processing of these fruits is therefore necessary for a sustainable development of these species.
