Essential Oils in Combination and Their Antimicrobial Properties
Imaël Henri Nestor Bassolé , * and H. Rodolfo Juliani
Essential oils (EOs) have been long recognized for their antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, insecticidal and antioxidant properties. They are widely used in medicine and the food industry for these purposes. The increased interest in alternative natural substances is driving the research community to(...)

Sombie Pierre Alexandre Eric Djifaby, Coulibaly Ahmed Yacouba,Hilou Adama,Konate Kiessoum, Compaore Moussa Marie-Hyacinthe, Nacoulma Odile Germaine
Guiera senegalensis is a well known medicinal plant which is used as a drug in Burkina Faso. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the carotenoids content and antibacterial activity from galls of Guiera senegalensis. The hydroacetonic extract (HAE) exhibited the highest of β-carotene (4.67±0.25 mg/g) and lycopene (0.99±0.0735 mg/(...)

Phytochemistry and Biological Activities of Extracts from Two Combretaceae Found in Burkina Faso: Anogeissus Leiocarpus (DC) Guill. and Perr. And Combretum Gl...
SORE H., HILOU A., SOMBIE Pierre A. E. D., COMPAORE M., MEDA R., MILLOGO J. and NACOULMA O. G.
Many studies indicate that Combretaceae species are commonly used in Africa to treat various diseases. Nonetheless, no phytochemical and/or biological activity data are available from species found in Burkina Faso to secure their ethnomedicinal uses. In addition, drugs derived from these species, especially those of the genus Combretum, are so(...)

Acid resistance, bile tolerance and antimicrobial properties of dominant lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional “maari” baobab seeds fermented condiment
KABORÉ Donatien, Hagrétou Sawadogo-Lingani1, Mamoudou H. DICKO, Bréhima Diawara and Mogens Jakobsen
Maari is a fermented food condiment obtained by spontaneous fermentation of seeds from the baobab tree (Adansonia digitata). Nine dominant lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains, isolated from traditional maari fermentation were examined for their resistance to pH 2.5, their tolerance to 0.3% bile and their antimicrobial activities against pathoge(...)

Effects of various cooking methods and food components on bioaccessibility of mercury from fish
Ousséni Ouédraogo, Marc Amyot
Fish consumption is the main source of human exposure to mercury. Studies from specific human populations have reported Hg levels lower than those modeled from consumption data These discrepancies between expected and measured Hg levels may be explained by differences in dietary habits such as cooking methods and food components on fish Hg bio(...)
