Food in West Africa is one of the main sources of cash income. It plays an important role in feeding populations (rural and urban). These vegetables are very perishable foods, and generally seasonal, causing several post-harvest losses. Lack of knowledge of the natural techniques used by our peasants to conserve their various crops hampers their application, as well as their popularization. It is with this in mind that this study was initiated. It is based first of all on a survey carried out on large markets and supermarkets in the commune of Daloa (Ivory Coast), with a view to identifying the most widely used natural food conservation methods. It appears from these surveys that the open air preservation method was the most common at 80%. This method is widely used on eggplants (42.29%), tomatoes (33.66%) and okra (24.05%) in the markets. This method could favor certain physico-chemical parameters of the food crop to the detriment of others. The results of surveys carried out in the field have made it possible to show the need to popularize the food sector by training our various producers and sellers in order to know the basic basics of conservation.

<p>The population has been seeking changes in eating habits to improve health and well-being. There is a demand for practical products with low fat content and products that have natural components in their composition that play a functional constituent role. The objective of this study was the development of a calorie-reduced flavored-fortified yogurt with Tommy Atkins mango pulp and the evaluation of its chemical and microbiological stability for 21 days of storage at 4 ° C. Four formulations F1, F2, F3 and F4 were developed, and they differed in the concentration of pulp and oats. The formulation, F1 (Control) (21.43% pulp with no oats addition ), F2 (2.26% oat and 15.04% mango pulp), F3 (4.58% oat and 11.45% mango pulp) and F4 (7.75% oats and 6.98% mango pulp). The determined physico-chemical parameters were moisture (84,28 ± 0,40%, 82,16 ± 0,12%, 80,70 ± 0,16%, 78,53 ± 0.30%), lipids (1.2 ± 0.10%,,05 ± 0.05%, 1,15 ± 0.05%, 1.20 ± 0.00%), proteins (3,06 ± 0,16%, 3,65 ± 0,33%, 4,33 ± 0,19%, 4,70 ± 0,79%)respectively. The use of oats and mango pulp is a viable alternative when combined with the formulations for they increase both nutritional and technological values and they have become a trend in the food sector.</p>

La description succincte et l’écologie d’un taxon de Dinophyta et de quelques taxons de Chrysophyta ont été réalisées à partir du microscope électronique à balayage (MEB) et des paramètres physico-chimiques. Les mesures des paramètres physico-chimiques (Température, pH, conductivité, nitrates et phosphates) et l’échantillonnage des taxons ont été réalisés entre 8h et 12h dans trois stations de la lagune Vodroboué (V1, V2 et V3) et son embouchure (E) pendant les périodes 2014-2015 et 2016-2017. Les échantillons pour le phytoplancton ont été prélevés à l’aide de la bouteille hydrologique, puis filtrés avec le filet à plancton. L’épiphyton a été récolté sur des macrophytes localisés dans le plan d’eau lagunaire à l’embouchure et au niveau des berges des stations V1, V2 et V3. Les taxons Torodinium sp. de la classe des Dinophyceae, Paraphysomonas uniformis hemiradia sp. n. Type de la classe des Chrysophyceae, les écailles de Mallomonas sorohexareticulata Jo, Shin, Kim, Siver & Andersen sp. nov., Mallomonas sp. et Mallomonas sp. 1 de la classe des Synurophyceae ont été observés pour la première fois en Côte d’Ivoire. Selon la diagnose des taxons, une similarité de l’ultrastructure des écailles de Mallomonas sorohexareticulata sp. nov. d’une part, et d’autre part, celles de Mallomonas sp. serait liée à la tolérance à la température. Pour ce qui concerne leur écologie, les taxons ont tolérés des pH acido-alcalines, une faible conductivité, une température et des taux de nutriments modérés. Les résultats de cette étude contribuent à la connaissance de quelques taxons de Dinophyta et de Chrysophyta qui pourraient être utilisés pour l’enseignement et les études de taxonomie des microalgues. Diagnosis and ecology of some microalgae from the Vodroboué lagoon and around its mouth ABSTRACT Succinct description and ecology of one Dinophyta taxa and some Chrysophyta taxa were realized from scanning electron microscope (SEM) and physico chemical parameters. Measurements of physicochemical parameters (temperature, pH, conductivity, nitrates and phosphates) and sampling of taxa were carried out between 8 and 12 in three stations of the Vodroboué lagoon (V1, V2 and V3) and its mouth (E) during 2014-2015 and 2016-2017 periods. Samples for phytoplankton were collected using the hydrologic bottle and then filtered with the plankton net. The epiphyton was collected by expression method on macrophytes located in the lagoon at the mouth and at the banks of V1, V2 and V3. Torodinium sp. of the Dinophyceae class, Paraphysomonas uniformis hemiradia sp. n. Type of Chrysophyceae class, the scales of Mallomonas sorohexareticulata Jo, Shin, Kim, Siver & Andersen sp. nov., Mallomonas sp. and Mallomonas sp. 1 of the class Synurophyceae were observed for the first time in Ivory Coast. According to the diagnosis of taxa, a similarity of the ultrastructure of Mallomonas sorohexareticulata sp. nov. scales, on the one hand, and Mallomonas sp. scales on the other hand would be related to temperature tolerance. Concerning their ecology, taxa have tolerated acido-alkaline pH, low conductivity and moderate temperature and nutrient levels. Results of this study contribute to the knowledge of some Dinophyta and Chrysophyta taxa can be used for teaching and microalgae taxonomy studies.

The article presents the results of studies of osmolality and pH of 0,9 % sodium chloride of various manufacturers. To obtain data on the pH value, the data used in the passports are used, and the indicators of its osmolality are de- termined using laboratory tests. 0,9 % sodium chloride from different manufacturers has different pH and osmolality. Knowing the actual values of physico-chemical parameters can increase the accuracy of the results of future clinical studies, which compare the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of modern plasma-substituting solutions and a solution of 0,9 % sodium chloride.
