    Abstract: Commonly called African peach tree, the Nauclea latifolia (Sm.) of Rubiaceae family gives fruits twice a year. It is also a well known plant in sub-Saharan Africa in the traditional pharmacopoeia. The fruits of the African peach tree are one of the countless fruits of this continent which, in lethal period, are left in the nature where they rot, th... Show More

    Abstract: Bauxite is the primary ore for aluminum extraction. In order to assess the quality of bauxite, it is important to determine not only the content of Al2O3 but the content of Fe2O3 as well. Determining the composition of bauxite is very important from the aspect of determining the quality of bauxite. Therefore, it is important to use a method that is... Show More

    Abstract: The aim of the current study is to assess the influence of salt on the chemical composition of fermented, salty and dry catfish (lanhouin) in Benin. Different flours of fish were produced and their chemical composition was evaluated based on conventional methods of analysis. From the results obtained, the Catfish is rich in dry matter (76.640 ± 0.1... Show More

    Abstract: Looking into the combinatorial chemistry literature one can see that it is still mostly believed that the first combinatorial synthesis was invented by several groups exactly at the same time. In fact the principles of combinatorial chemistry, that is, synthesis of large number, even millions, of compounds and then by applying a proper deconvolutio... Show More
