Variability of vitamins B1, B2 and minerals content in baobab (Adansonia digitata) leaves in East and West Africa
TRAORE HYACINTHE, Parkouda Charles, Korbo Adama, Compaore/Sereme Diarra, Mamoudou H. DICKO
The regional variability and age-age correlation on vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and minerals (Ca, Mg, P, K, Cu, Fe, Mn, Na, and Zn) concentration in baobab leaves were investigated. Baobab was cultivated from seeds from 11 african countries. Vitamins B1 and B2 content were assessed using microbiological VitaFast kits methods and minerals by atomic(...)

Impact of Technological Diagram on Biochemical and Microbiological Quality of Borassus akeassii Wine Produced Traditionally in Burkina Faso
François TAPSOBA,*, Aly SAVADOGO, Cheikna ZONGO , Alfred Sababenedyo TRAORÉ
Palm wines are produced following several traditional processes, very consumed and appreciated in West Africa. In South-West of Burkina Faso, Borassus akeassii palm wine, plays a nutritional and socio-economic role and replaces Sorghum beer. Because of reported health issues due to the bad practices of palm wine tappers, we performed survey ai(...)

Anticancer activity of essential oils and their chemical components-a review
K. SIMPORE
Essential oils are widely used in pharmaceutical, sanitary, cosmetic, agriculture and food industries for their bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal, antiparasitical and insecticidal properties. Their anticancer activity is well documented. Over a hundred essential oils from more than twenty plant families have been tested on more than twenty t(...)

Pathogenic bacteria contaminate beverages and make consumers to have diarrhoeal diseases. This study was carried out to assess the occurrence and antimicrobial susceptibility of Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. isolated from “zoom-koom” beverages and ice from open markets of Ouagadougou. One hundred samples of both “zoom-koom” and ice were(...)

CK2 accumulation at the axon initial segment depends on sodium channel Nav1
Y.E. Hien, A. Montersino, F. Castets, C. Leterrier, O. Filhol, H. Vacher, B. Dargent
Accumulation of voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1 at the axon initial segment (AIS), results from a direct interaction with ankyrin G. This interaction is regulated in vitro by the protein kinase CK2, which is also highly enriched at the AIS. Here, using phosphospecific antibodies and inhibition/ depletion approaches, we showed that Nav1 chann(...)
