“…Fungal contamination could have occurred during these manipulations. Similar results were observed in the work carried out by [19] on the Evaluation of the sanitary quality of Moringa oleifera leaf powders marketed for the benefit of people living with HIV in Cotonou (Benin). According to these authors, the presence of Escherichia coli, thermotolerant coliforms, yeasts and moulds in the samples tested suggests hygiene flaws in the production chain of Moringa leaf powders.…”

The consumption of food supplements such as Spirulina and Moringa is increasing in developing countries.However, these foods, due to certain processing conditions, are likely to be contaminated by moulds potentially producing dangerous mycotoxins. The objective of this study is to determine the level of contamination and the diversity of fungal flora found in Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) and Moringa (Moringa oleifera) powder produced and marketed in Abidjan. A total of 360 samples of powder, including 144 of Spirulina and 216 of Moringa, were collected from different sales outlets. The identification of fungal isolates was carried out on the basis of classical mycology criteria. The prevalence of fungal strains in the analyzed products was 85.83%, which 77.99% in Spirulina and 22.01% in Moringa. The predominant species were Aspergillus flavus (24.6%), Aspergillus niger (21.68%), Penicillium sp (20.71%), and Aspergillus fumigatus (12.62%). The study shows that Spirulina powder and Moringa powder sold in markets are contaminated with moulds, some of which are potentially mycotoxin producers posing a health risk to consumers. Strict hygiene measures must be observed during the production and marketing of Moringa and Spirulina powders in order to prevent any poisoning among consumers.

Cochlospermum tinctorium est une plante médicinale utilisée dans plusieurs pays pour le traitement de l’hépatite. Au Bénin, différentes poudres à base de ses rhizomes sont vendues dans les marchés et utilisées par les tradithérapeutes pour plusieurs usages. L’objectif de cette étude était de répertorier les différentes formes et les divers usages des recettes à base de Cochlospermum tinctorium utilisées au Bénin. Dans ce sens, une enquête ethnomédicinale a été menée auprès de 434 usagers des marchés et 40 tradithérapeutes du Sud et du Nord Bénin suivant la méthode par interview semi-structurée. Les données obtenues ont montré que les recettes à base de C. tinctorium sont plus connues et utilisées au Nord-Bénin. Ces recettes se présentent sous trois formes (A, B et C). Leurs usages sont alimentaires (41%) et médicinales (59%). La forme A est très utilisée (93,91%) par la population enquêtée pour les besoins nutritionnels et thérapeutiques alors que les formes B et C ont, essentiellement, un usage médicinal. Cette étude a permis de comprendre la diversité de recettes associées au terme "poudre jaune" au Bénin. Il est dès lors nécessaire d’évaluer la toxicité et l’efficacité de ces différentes formes d’usage de la poudre de rhizome de C. tinctorium. English title: Uses of rhizome-based powder of Cochlospermum tinctorium Perrier ex A.Rich in Benin: frequency, forms and indications Cochlospermum tinctorium Perrier is a medicinal plant used in several countries for the treatment of hepatitis. In Benin, different powders made from its rhizomes are sold in markets and used by traditional healers for several purposes. The objective of this study was to list the different forms and uses of Cochlospermum tinctorium-based recipes used in Benin. An ethnomedicinal survey was conducted among 434 market users and 40 traditional healers from Southern and Northern Benin using the semi-structured interview method. The data obtained showed that the recipes based on C. tinctorium are more known and used in North Benin. These recipes come in three forms (A, B and C). Their uses are food (41%) and medicinal (59%). Form A is widely used (93.91%) by the population surveyed for nutritional and therapeutic needs while forms B and C have, essentially, a medicinal use. This study has allowed us to understand the diversity of recipes associated with the term "yellow powder" in Benin. It is therefore necessary to evaluate the toxicity and effectiveness of these different forms of use of C. tinctorium rhizome powder.

“…of Moringa oleifera leaves [1]- [7] promotes increasingly its use as food supplements [8]- [11]. In a study recently published by Aissi et al [12], it appears that in Benin like most sub-Saharan Africa's countries [13], the production of these food supplements don't follow strictly the standards of Quality Assurance. Thus, the assessment of the microbiological quality performed on Moringa oleifera powders samples purchased from several outlets in Cotonou, revealed presence of abundant microbial flora such as Escherichia coli, coagulase-positive Staphylococci, yeasts, mould, etc.…”

The testing of a sterilization at low temperature (50˚C) for 24 hours has not helped to reduce the amount of total germs below the threshold of 5 × 10 4 CFU/g, set as limit of unacceptability of this kind of the food [14].…”

To evaluate lead and cadmium contamination in Moringa oleifera leaves powders marketed in Cotonou and health risks associated with its consumption, cross-sectional and analytical study were done from October 23 th , 2012 to June 20 th , 2013. Samples of Moringa powders were purchased at different outlets (health centers, supermarkets, pharmacy, etc.). Assays were performed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry after digestion according calcination method. Pb and Cd levels were compared with Codex Alimentarius standards, using the Student t test. Daily Exposure Doses (DDE) and Hazard Quotients (HQ) specific to each contaminant were calculated using a conventional method. Results revealed that the mean concentration of lead for all samples (1.526 mg/kg) exceeded of about 5.08 times the maximum allowable limit whereas cadmium levels (0.246 mg/kg) was not statistically higher than the standard. The highest concentrations of Pb and Cd are respectively 4.263 mg/kg and 0.354 mg/kg. Children are 2.3 to 3.8 times in greater danger * Corresponding author. A. K. Aissi et al. 771than adults although all QD calculated are less than 1, reflecting that there is a low risk to consumers in general. For both metals, DJE specifically linked to the consumption of Moringa was less than 2% compared to other kinds of food intake. In conclusion, the current level of contamination (with lead and cadmium) of Moringa leaves powders marketed in Cotonou is not yet an alarming threat to consumers' health. However, care must be taken to reduce chemical pollution especially soils where these plants grow.
