They play a crucial role in different biological processes. This study focuses on comparing the protein contents of local rice grown in the Senegal River valley and rice imported from Asia. The objective is to evaluate the importance of the protein nutritional value of local rice compared to imported rice. Protein contents were determined using the Kjeldahl method. The results of the protein assays show that local rice varieties such as Sahel 108 and Sahel 134 grown in the Thilène basins had protein percentages comparable to those of imported rice. The protein percentages were 15.19% ± 0.91% for the Sahel 108 variety and 16.62% ± 0.01% for the Sahel 134 variety compared to 15.8% ± 0.01% on average for imported rice. Thus from the point of view of protein content, local rice has a nutritional value identical to that of imported rice which it can validly replace. It is important in Senegal to encourage local production, which would make it possible to reduce imports on the one hand and to make quality rice available to the local Senegalese market on the other. Sahel varieties with high protein contents deserve large-scale development to meet the country’s protein needs.展开更多

Ingestion of contaminated feed by poultry can lead to impaired health and zootechnical performances but also a human diet safety problem related to residues presence in animal origin products. Aflatoxin B1 contamination of poultry feed samples marketed in Dakar city and in peri-urban areas (Gorom, Sangalkam) was studied. A total of 15 samples were collected from Dakar city markets as well as from poultry farms in Gorom and Sangalkam areas. Aflatoxin B1 quantification was performed by high performance liquid chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. HPLC results showed that all samples were contaminated with levels ranging from 0.15 to 22 ppb, 0.099 to 2.05 ppb and 0.099 to 4.95 ppb respectively for Gorom, Sangalkam and Dakar. Only the finishing feed from Gorom had an aflatoxin B1 level above the maximum limit set by regulations. TLC is a suitable method for aflatoxins detection. However, it was associated with overestimation for aflatoxin B1 quantification. Results suggest that poultry feed represents a real source of human diet contamination. In addition, HPLC remains the most reliable quantification technique for quality control.展开更多

The validation was done using concentrations ranging between 75% and 125% of the target concentration of 600 mg/ml. Validation standards were prepared separately in triplicate for each series. Studied validation criteria were selectivity, linearity, trueness, precision (repeatability and intermediate precision), accuracy and limits of detection and quantification. The method was selective, with recoveries ranging between 99.55% and 99.84%. The relative standard deviations of repeatability and intermediate precision were <5%. The accuracy profile confirmed the performance of the assay method between 75% and 100% of the target concentration of 600 mg/ml. The detection and quantification limits were 5 mg/l and 15 mg/l respectively. This ecological and economical method was applied to identify and quantify chlorphenamine maleate in 3 samples of chlorphenamine maleate-based drugs provided by the Senegalese National Medicines Control Laboratory. All analyzed samples were in accordance with official standards.展开更多

A pH 9 borate buffer was used as diluent of tetracycline after reaction with magnesium salt at the excitation wavelength of 372 nm and 516 nm of emission. A linear response was observed between 0.25 μg/mL and 1.5 μg/mL with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.9998. The detection and quantification limits found are 0.0125 μg/mL and 0.0412 μg/mL respectively. The proposed method proved trueness with a recovery between 99.88% and 101.10%. The relative standard deviations of repeatability and intermediate precision found ≤2.88% reflected a good precision of the method. The proposed method is therefore valid within the limits of 90% to 110%. The proposed method was applied to the quality control of 9 tetracycline samples from market and gave results in accordance with the pharmacopoeia standards.展开更多

In the current literature, no method for the analysis of nevirapine by spectro-fluorimetric has been reported. The proposed method is based on the transformation of naturally non-fluorescent nevirapine into a fluorescent derivative after chemical synthesis. Maximum excitation and emission wavelengths are 290 nm and 357 nm respectively. The analytical performance of the method demonstrates linearity in the concentration range 1.5 × 10<sup>-2</sup> and 13.5 × 10<sup>-2</sup> μg/mL with a correlation coefficient (r) greater than 0.999. The detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) limits found are 1.97 × 10<sup>-3</sup> μg/mL and 5.48 × 10<sup>-3</sup> μg/mL respectively. Recovery is achieved with 99.9% and 100.3% trueness, intra-day precision with a coefficient of variation of repeatability (CVr) of 0.99% and inter-day precision with a coefficient of variation of precision (CVR) of 1.7%. The method has been successfully applied in the analysis of 10 batches of nevirapine tablets and suspensions.展开更多
