Fermented locust bean condiment in Nigeria has continued to attract low market value. This may partly be due to inconsistent quality of the product. In order to improve the quality of the condiment, there is need to explore standardization of the production process through use of starter culture such as Bacillus subtilis. Six samples were developed and were fermented at 35 °C in the laboratory using Bacillus subtilis concentrations of 1.0 mL and 1.5 mL at fermentation time(s) of 24 h, 48 h and 72 h respectively. The pH, microbiological, chemical and sensory attributes of the fermented locust bean condiment samples were analysed using standard methods and a ten member semi trained panelists on a 3 point hedonic scale. As the dose concentration of Bacillus subtilis increased with fermentation time, the pH and microbial load showed a corresponding increase; except at fermentation time of 24 h where the total viable counts of the fermented locust bean were insignificant to be counted. The peroxide, FFA and TBA values of the fermented locust bean condiment samples showed increases, while protein exhibited a decline in content. Bacillus subtilis concentration of 1.0 mL and a fermentation time of 48 h produced a condiment with higher degree of consumer acceptability with no unpleasant odour. The use of Bacillus subtilis concentration was found to be concentration and time dependent. Excessive fermentation activities of Bacillus subtilis were undesirable at 72 h as this gave rise to low quality locust bean condiment with unpleasant odour.

Les graines de néré (Parkia biglobosa) sont transformées traditionnellement en Afrique de l’Ouest en des condiments fermentés sous différentes appellations : soumbala au Burkina Faso, nététu au Sénégal, soumbara en Guinée Conakry, dawadawa et iru au Nigéria, afitin, iru et sonru au Bénin. Ces produits sont caractérisés par la variabilité de leur qualité et des contraintes liées à leur production. La présente revue a pour objectif d’analyser les technologies traditionnelles utilisées pour la production de ces condiments fermentés à base de graines de néré et de faire ressortir les contraintes/difficultés de production de ces condiments. Les données ont été collectées à travers les documents physiques consultés (thèses et mémoires) et à partir des articles scientifiques et d’autres documents trouvés en ligne. Il en résulte que les technologies de production traditionnelle des condiments à base de graine de néré en Afrique de l’Ouest, incluent principalement selon les zones et les ethnies, une première cuisson des graines allant de 12-48 h, un décorticage manuel des graines cuites, une seconde cuisson des graines décortiquées et lavées variant de 1-4 h et enfin, une fermentation des cotylédons cuits allant de 24-120 h. Ces technologies ont également en commun, des contraintes majeures de pénibilités du processus de cuisson, du décorticage/lavage, de la consommation importante d’énergie, d’eau et de temps. Les données de cette revue ouvrent ainsi de nouvelles pistes de recherche pour l’amélioration des procédés traditionnels de transformation des graines de néré.

R.Br.) en Afrique de l’Ouest : revue des principaux produits dérivés et contraintes de production 15699 Traditional technologies for processing African locust bean seeds (Parkia biglobosa Jacq. R.Br.) in West Africa: review on the main derivatives and production constraints. ABSTRACT African locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) seeds are traditionally transformed in West Africa into fermented condiments under different names: soumbala in Burkina Faso, netetu in Senegal, soumbara in Guinea Conakry, dawadawa and iru in Nigeria, afitin, iru and sonru in Benin. These products are characterized by the variability of their quality and the constraints linked to their production. The objective of this study is to analyze the traditional technologies used for the production of these fermented condiments and to highlight the constraints/difficulties associated to their production. The data were collected through the physical documents consulted (theses and dissertations) and from scientific articles and other documents found online. It appear that the traditional technologies used to produce P. biglobosa seeds based-condiments in West Africa, mainly include, according to the zones and ethnic groups, a first cooking of the seeds ranging from 12-48 h, a manual dehulling of the cooked seeds, a second cooking of the dehulled and washed seeds varying from 1-4 h and finally, a fermentation of the cooked cotyledons ranging from 24-120 h. These technologies have in common the major constraints of hardness of the process of cooking and dehulling/washing, significant consumption of energy, water and time. Data from this review opens research perspectives for the improvement of the traditional processing of P. biglobosa seeds. Keywords: P. biglobosa seeds, condiment, soumbala, process.
