Kola nuts were regularly chewed by West Africans and Beninese in particularly. The aim of this
study was to investigate nutritional and anti-nutrient content of three Benin’s kola nuts (Cola nitida,
Cola acuminata and Garcinia kola). Proximate composition of the three species of kola nuts
was assessed using standard analytical AOAC methods.(...)

To determine genetic diversity among 43 cultivars of Kumba group (Solanum aethiopicum L.), 17 simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers were tested. Nine (9) EST-SSR markers used were polymorphic among the accessions studied. A total of 19 alleles were identified with an average of 2 alleles per marker. Furthermore, the accessions studied showe(...)

Diversity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains isolated from Borassus akeassii palm wines from Burkina Faso in comparison to other African beverage
François Tapsoba ⁎, Jean-Luc Legras , Aly Savadogo , Sylvie Dequin , Alfred Sababenedyo Traore
In South-West of Burkina Faso, palm wine is produced by spontaneous fermentation of the sap from a specific
palm tree Borassus akeassii and plays an important role in people's lives. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the main
agent of this alcoholic fermentation but little is known about the diversity of the isolates from palm. In this work, 39 Sa(...)

Difficultés d’interprétation des gammapathies monoclonales de découverte fortuite : cas d’une gammapathie transitoire au cours d’un syndrome inflammatoire important
Raoul Karfo, Laila Benchekroun, Alban Zohoun, Layachi Chabraoui
La découverte d’une immunoglobuline monoclonale est habituellement le signe d’un syndrome lymphoprolifératif malin, mais cela peut être parfois une manifestation transitoire au cours des infections virales, bactériennes ou fongiques et au cours d’un syndrome inflammatoire. La réalisation de l’électrophorèse chez une patiente âgée de 55 ans a(...)

Diversity and distribution of bats (Mammalia Chiroptera) in Burkina Faso
Napoko Malika KANGOYÉ, Adama OUÉDA, Laurent GRANJON, Adjima THIOMBIANO, Wendengoudi GUENDA and Jakob FAHR
Herein we review available information on the bat fauna of Burkina Faso, synthesizing data
on a considerable number of museum specimens collected in the country between 1964 and
2010. We aim to give an exhaustive review of the locally occurring taxa and their distribution
overlaid on different phytogeographic areas. To achieve this objectiv(...)

CHARACTERIZATION OFSOLANUM ETHIOPICUM(KUMBA GROUP) IN BURKINA FASO
BATIONO-KANDO Pauline, SAWADOGO Boureima, NANEMA K. Romaric, KIEBRE Zakaria, SAWADOGO Nerbéwendé, KIEBRE Mariam, TRAORE R. Ernest, SAWADOGO Mahamadou, ZONGO Jean-Didier
Ninety five (95) cultivars of the Kumba Group "bitter eggplant" of theSolanuma ethiopicumspecies collected in the
agricultural region of West Burkina Faso have been assessed using 22 agro-morphological descriptors. The study has
shown that the naming process of cultivars in this area by farmers is solely based on phenotypic trait(...)

Optimization of Aqueous Extraction of Anthocyanins from Hibiscus sabdariffa L. Calyces for Food Application
DIESSANA Arthur, Charles Parkouda, Mady Cissé, Bréhima Diawara, and Mamoudou H. DICKO
Aqueous extracts of Hibiscus sabdariffa calyces are worldwide used for the production of several products such as polyphenolic-antioxidant containing beverages. However, optima conditions for extraction of polyphenolics such as anthocyanins from this plant species were unknown. For this, the influence of particle size and calyx/water ratio on(...)

Diesel oil and lubricants are hydrocarbons commonly used in the world. Contamination of environment by used
lubricating and diesel oil is rapidly increasing due to global increase in the usage of petroleum products,
particularly in developing countries. This has been shown to have harmful effects on the environment and
human beings. Thus, t(...)
