“…The representativeness of these main families is due to the fact that they predominate in the flora of the Fathala forest as demonstrated by Kaly (2013) through his study on the characterization of woody vegetation of the forest. Moreover, these families are the most common in the flora of Senegal, as noted in previous studies in the South and in 6 classified forests in the Sudanian and sub-Guinean zones (Gning et al 2014, Sambou 2004) but also by Arbonnier in 2019. This availability reflects their concern for diabetes and hypertension, as do many diseases and symptoms.…”

Background: Diabetes and hypertension are serious health issues, and both are predicted to increase, particularly in Africa. The objectives of this study are to (1) identify plants used to treat diabetes and hypertension and (2) characterize their therapeutic uses based on ethnobotanical information. Methods: Semi-structured individual and group interviews were conducted with traditional healers, patients, nurses and other actors near Fathala Classified Forest in western Senegal. Data were processed using content analysis. Citation frequency (CF) was used to determine importance of each species.Results: A total of 38 species were used to treat diabetes and hypertension. These belong to 34 genera and 21 families. Eighteen species were used to treat both diabetes and hypertension, 12 were used to treat hypertension and eight to treat diabetes. The most used plant parts were leaves (56%) bark (10%) and roots (10%). Preparation of the medicine mainly consisted of decoction (45%), infusion (17%) and maceration (15%) and most medicines were taken as a drink (76%). The most used species in the treatment of diabetes are Terminalia avicennioides (FC= 69%), Sclerocarya birrea (FC=23 %) and Cocos nucifera (FC=15%). Moringa oleifera (FC=46,15%), Oxytenanthera abyssinica (FC=30,76%) and Detarium microcarpum (FC=23,07%) are mainly used against hypertension.Combretaceae (28,57%), Fabaceae (28,57%) and Anacardiaceae (19,05%), are most represented families.Conclusion: A diversity of native plants were used as antidiabetic and antihypertensive medicine. Ethnobotanical knowledge could constitute a foundation for identifying new active ingredients for developing new or improved medicine.

Socio-economic value of trees in the Malinke Community (Khossanto, Senegal)) Objective: To determine the socio-economical interest of woody species in the population life of the Khossanto rural community in the southern zone of Senegal and to appreciate their local knowledge and expertise on the tree. Methodology and results: Ethno botanical interviews were undertaken with populations of Khossanto rural community. The knowledge and expertise of the Malinke on trees in six categories of uses: food, fodder, construction, crafts, household energy and pharmacopoeia was identified, with relatively high levels of consensus (all more than 80%). Six multipurpose species (involved in almost all categories) proved to be the most useful: Cordyla pinnata, Borassus aethiopum, Vitellaria paradoxa, Ziziphus mauritiana, Pterocarpus erinaceus and Adansonia digitata. Fruit (31%), leaves (29%) and wood (22%) are the most used parts.Journal of Applied Biosciences 70:5617-5631 ISSN 1997-5902 Gning et al J. Appl. Biosci. 2013.Valeur socio-économique de l'arbre en milieu malinké, Sénégal 5618Conclusion and application of findings: The socio-economic importance of trees in Malinke environment is clearly demonstrated. But, the intensity of the levies related to a high consumption is gradually inducing a threat on these ligneous species. Hence the need to establish a sustainable model for managing these community rangelands is established.

“…The interest of Saba senegalensis in feeding and treating hundreds of diseases in rural Populations is widely recognized (Gning et al, 2013). Indeed, it is used for the treatment of certain diseases such as dysentery, diarrhoea and cough (Koné et al, 2012;Gning et al, 2014;Ballo et al, 2020;Angaman et al, 2001). The fruit consists of a globular shell enclosing very soft and juicy yellow pulp seeds (Kini et al, 2008).…”

Saba senegalensis fruit is traditionally collected and sold on the Ivorian markets, although it is considered as an underutilized species in favour of commercial fruits. The present study aimed at providing data on the nutritional value of Saba senegalensis fruit in comparison with widely valued fruits. Saba senegalensis pulp as well as dessert banana, papaya and pineapple pulp were used as study material. After an evaluation of the biochemical parameters, a principal component analysis (PCA) was used to highlight the nutritional potential of the different fruits. The results showed that the physicochemical parameters varied from one fruit to another. The Saba senegalensis fruit stood out from the other three fruits by its high antioxidant activity (IC50 = 39.80 ± 0.45 mg/ml), its high concentration of polyphenols (600.94 ± 5.27 mg EqA. G / 100 g), flavonoids (245.09 ± 19.10 mg EqA.G / 100 g), vitamin A (1.96 ± 0.03 mg/100 g), Ca (29.19 ± 0.17) and Fe (2.51 ± 0.06 mg/100 g). These nutritional constituents are far superior in Saba senegalensis pulp to those of banana, papaya and pineapple. Thus, its nutritional potential could be a major asset for its consumption and valorisation
