Afin de préserver les nombreux biens et services fournis par Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) R. Br. ex G. Don, Fabaceae, il est fondamental de connaître la variabilité  phénotypique de l’espèce pour sa domestication. L’objectif de cette étude est de déterminer des caractères morphologiques permettant d’identifier des arbres-plus dans les savanes de Côte d’Ivoire. La variabilité phénotypique d’arbres distants d’au moins 100 m des trois types de savane a été étudiée à travers 22 caractères quantitatifs relatifs aux troncs, feuilles, fruits et graines. La matrice de données obtenue a été analysée avec différents tests tels que MANOVA suivie de ANOVA 1, AFD et la CAH. Les paramètres permettant de distinguer les arbres selon leur origine sont : hauteur totale d’arbre, épaisseur graine, poids de graine et pulpe par fruit, longueur du fruit, longueur et épaisseur du pédicelle, longueur et épaisseur du pédoncule. Les arbres en savane guinéenne ont de longs et épais pédoncules, des pédicelles épais et de longs fruits. Les arbres en savane sub-soudanaise sont hauts avec des graines et pédicelles épais, un poids de graine et de pulpe par fruit en moyenne élevé alors que les arbres en savane soudanaise sont hauts avec un long pédoncule. Mots clés: Parkia biglobosa, néré, variabilité phénotypique, conservation, savane. English Title: Phenotypical caracterization of african locust bean (Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) R. Br. ex G. Don, Fabaceae) from three savannahs types in Côte d’Ivoire To preserve goods and services provided by Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) R. Br. ex G. Don, Fabaceae, it is essential to know the phenotypical variability of this species for domestication purpose. The objective of this study is to define morphological discriminant traits to identify tree-plus in the savannahs from Côte d'Ivoire. The phenotypical variability of trees distant at least 100 m from three types of savannah was studied through 22 quantitative traits related to trunks, leaves, fruits and seeds. Matrix data was analyzed with different tests such as MANOVA followed by ANOVA 1, AFD and CAH. Traits that allow distinguishing trees according to their origin are: total height, seed thickness, seed and pulp weight per fruit, fruit length, pedicel length and thickness, peduncle length and thickness. In the Guinean savannah, trees have long and thick peduncles, thick pedicels and long fruits. In Sub-Sudanese savannah, trees are tall with thick seeds and pedicels, high seeds and pulp weight per fruit while Sudanese savannah trees are tall with a long peduncle. Keywords: Parkia biglobosa, locust bean, phenotypical variability, conservation, savannah.

1 RESUME Le but de cette étude est de recenser et documenter les plantes médicinales utilisées traditionnellement contre l’infertilité féminine par les matrones (accoucheuses traditionnelles) dans le département de Dabakala (Côte d’Ivoire). Ainsi une enquête par questionnaire a été menée auprès de 71 matrones du département de Dabakala. Les résultats de cette enquête ont indiqué que 25 espèces reparties entre 23 genres et 18 familles sont utilisées par les matrones pour soigner divers cas d’infertilité. Les familles les plus représentées sont les Annonaceae et les Solanaceae. Parmi les espèces citées, Heliotropium indicum (Boraginaceae), Parkia biglobosa (Fabaceae), Xylopia aethiopica (Annonaceae), Vitellaria paradoxa (Sapotaceae) et Kigelia africana (Bignoniaceae) sont les plus recommandées. Les valeurs de VAUs de ces espèces varient de 0,42 à 0,24. Ces résultats constituent une base de données pour les études ultérieures visant à évaluer les potentialités biologiques et chimiques de ces plantes. ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to identify and document medicinal plants traditionally used by matrons (traditional midwives) against female infertility in the department of Dabakala (Côte d’Ivoire). A questionnaire survey therefore was conducted on 71 matrons in Dabakala department. The results of this survey showed that 25 species distributed among 23 types and 18 families are used by the matrones to treat various cases of infertility. The most represented families (groups of espece) are Annonaceae and Solanaceae. Among the mentioned species, Heliotropium indicum (Boraginaceae), Parkia biglobosa (Fabaceae), Xylopia aethiopica (Annonaceae), Vitellaria paradoxa (Sapotaceae) and Kigelia africana (Bignoniaceae) are the most recommended. The Use Agreement Value (VAU-valeur d'accord d'utilisation) (VAU) of these species vary from 0.42 to 0.24. These results provide a database for subsequent studies to evaluate the biological and chemical potential of these plants.

Background: “Soumbara” as well as other traditional foods of Côte d'Ivoire are produced in a traditional way. These foods may contain pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms. Aims: The aim of our work was to assess the sanitary quality of “Soumbara” sold in five communes of Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire), in order to valorize it as a flavor enhancer. Material and Methods: A consumption survey as well as the analysis of some physico-chemical (pH, titratable acidity, Brix degree, moisture, and organic acids) and microbiological parameters (enumeration of MAG, Clostridium, Bacillus, Staphylococci, Salmonella, E. coli, and coliforms) were carried out in five (05) municipalities of Abidjan (Abobo, Yopougon, Port Bouet, Adjamé, and Treichville) on 75 samples. Results: The results of the survey showed that most of the respondents were familiar with “Soumbara” and often consumed it. These consumers stated that they did not experience any discomfort after consuming this food. Physicochemical analyses showed that the water content of the samples of “Soumbara” ranged from 16.50% to 19.28% and the pH varied from 6.32 ± 0.01 to 7.91± 0.02. “Soumbara” contained little follow-through which ranged from 0.10 ± 0.001 to 0.27 ± 0.05. “Soumbara” also contained phenolic compounds such as coumarins, hydroquinones, and caffeic acid. Microbiological analyses had revealed the presence of spoilage and pathogenic germs such as Bacillus, Staphylococcus, and E. coli at high loads exceeding the 2019/229/EC standard. Conclusions: However, due to the high load of spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms, this food eaten by sprinkling directly on the dish, without passing through a cooking process could expose the consumer to a risk of food poisoning. Keywords: Food poisoning, “Soumbara”, Pathogenic and Spoilage Microorganisms.

In the context of the valorization and the development of local products in Côte d’Ivoire, this study is based on juices samples prepared from the pulp of wild fruits of Baobab (Adansonia digitata), Tomi (Tamarindus indica) and Néré (Parkia biglobosa). The physiochemical characteristics such as dry matter (desiccation, 105°C), mineral (spectrophotometer), ash, fat, fiber and protein (AOAC), Energy (coefficients), vitamins A & C (HPLC), organic acids & total polyphenols (HPLC), carbohydrate (by difference), pH and titratable acidity (titrimetry, NaOH) of pasteurized juices (75°C, 5 min) were investigated. Data showed that the juices have been characterized by low protein (0.21-0.28 %), fat (0.26-0.65 %) and ash (0.20-0.47 %) content and high level of total carbohydrates (21-30 %) and energy (85.83-124.43 Kcal/100mL). Baobab and Tomi juices were distinguished by their high acidity (103-159 meq.g / Kg) while Baobab and Néré juices were characterized by their average fiber content (4-5.30 %). The juices of Baobab, Tomi and Néré are very rich in some minerals (K and Mg) but calcium (Ca) and iron(Fe) are not bioavailable (Oxales/Ca and Oxalates/Fe ˃ 2). The juice of baobab is rich in vit A (80 mg/100mL) and vit C (189 mg/100mL) than the others juices. Catechin was the most phenolic content (52.29-110.32 mg/100mL) where tartric acid was the most organic acid (4.02-6.82 mg/100mL) in the juices. The knowledge of the nutritional value of these juices could contribute to a better understanding of the essential role of these three wild fruits in terms of food and trade.

Aims: Produced in an artisanal way from the fermentation of the seeds of Parkia biglobosa, “Soumbala”, is a condiment very appreciated in several African countries including Côte d'Ivoire. This study was  conducted to assess the microbiological quality and fungal profile of this condiment sold in the markets of nine communes in Abidjan. Study Design: Food safety. Place and Duration of Study: Soumbala's samples were collected in the markets during the month of October 2019 and analyzed at the Laboratory of Microbiology and Food Biotechnology of the Nangui Abrogoua University, Côte d'Ivoire. Methodology: For this purpose, 27 samples of "Soumbala" were taken from the different markets and analysed. The loads of the different microorganisms (mesophilic aerobic germs, total coliforms, moulds) were determined by counting after culture in agar medium. The microbiological quality has been assessed according to Directive 2005/2073/EC. The physico-chemical composition (pH, titratable acidity, moisture content) of "Soumbala" has been determined according to standard methods. The identification of the mould strains isolated from the different samples was carried out using the identification keys. Results: The results of the various physico-chemical parameters obtained ranged from 13.81 to 20.31%, 5.58 to 6.50 and 3.73 to 9.06 % for moisture content, pH and titratable acidity, respectively. The mesophilic aerobic germ loads of 7.21 to 7.70 log10 cfu/g determined in the analyzed samples are above the acceptability limit (6 log10 cfu/g) applied in this study. The maximum loading of total coliforms was 3.92 log10 cfu/g. All mould loads are below the acceptability limit. The mould strains isolated and identified from the identification keys belong to the genus Aspergillus. Conclusion : A public health risk related to the consumption of "Soumbala" could exist if these moulds produced mycotoxin.
