Abstract

Despite the controversy surrounding their composition, broths cubes are omnipresent in Senegalese cuisine and benefit from sustained advertising. Hence the need to study their consumption, their chemical composition and the associated risks. Consumption data was obtained through a survey of 150 households in Dakar, while nutritional composition data was obtained using the AOAC 968.08 method. The results revealed that 87% of the population consumes on average between 5.46 and 21g of broths per day and the most consumed brands are successively“1”; “2”; “3” and “4”. The sodium contents vary between 19.18 ± 2.66 mg% and 22.50 ± 3.16 mg%; those in iron between 2.84 ± 1.29 mg% and 41.71 ± 10.40 mg%, in calcium between 10.552 ± 3.39 mg% and 19.17 ± 1.04 mg%; in magnesium between 6.976 ± 2.50 mg% and 26.43 ± 1.42 mg%. These broths provide 52 to 224 % of the limit value of 2 g of sodium/day recommended by the WHO and 16 to 63 % of the average nutritional iron requirements. This study reveals that broths contribute significantly to the sodium and iron intake of the Senegalese population. It is therefore necessary to mobilize broth manufacturers and supervise fortification initiatives to better protect the health of consumers.

Keywords: quantity of broths, iron, sodium, calcium, magnesium, recommended intakes
