Phytochemistry, Antioxidant, and Hepatoprotective Potential of Acanthospermum hispidum DC Extracts against Diethylnitrosamine-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Rats
Jotham Yhi-pênê N’DO, Adama HILOU, Noufou OUEDRAOGO, Ernest Nogma SOMBIE and Tata Kadiatou TRAORE
Background: Burkina Faso is classified among the countries with a high prevalence (˃12%) of hepatitis. Hepatic diseases, such as cirrhosis—related to alcoholism—and hepatitis B and C, are the cause of the increase in cases of liver cancer. They promote the development of cancer by decreasing the natural cell death, causing problems with DNA re(...)

Anti-quorum quenching activity of methyl gallate isolated from galls of Guiera senegalensis J. F. Gmel (Combretaceae)
Vincent Ouedraogo, Pierre Alexandre Eric Djifaby Sombié, Moussa Compaoré and Martin Kiendrébéogo1
La lutte contre l’antibiorésistance est une priorité pour la santé humaine. De nombreuses bactéries pathogènes résistants aux antibiotiques produisent des facteurs de virulence contrôlés par un mécanisme de régulation appelé Quorum Sensing (QS). L'inhibition du système QS bactérien est une approche thérapeutique plus récente pour contrecarrer(...)

Mango doughnuts technology process for innovative prevention of post-harvest loss of mango fruits in Burkina Faso
90. KANTE-TRAORE Hyacinthe, Hagrétou SAWADOGO-LINGANI, Charles PARKOUDA, Judith P. M. SAMADOULOUGOU–KAFANDOand Mamoudou H. DICKO
The present study involved the processing and testing of two formulations of mango doughnuts. The
mango pulp formulations were combined either with maize or rice flour. The dough from both
formulations was fried in immersion oil using a gas-fueled fritter and a crepe maker in controlled
conditions. Levels of moisture, titrable acidity, tota(...)
