Abstract
In Tindouf (Algeria) Gum of Acacia tortilis (Forssk) commonly has been used in folk medicine to treat different diseases. In the present study, preliminary phytochemical analysis of aquatic gum extract of Acacia tortilis was carried out by using simple chemical tests. It revealed the presence of reducing compounds, coumarins, flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, cardiac glycosides and catechic tannins. From the point of view of the diversity of fungi, there was no significant difference between the common wheat samples analyzed. The results of the mycological analysis showed a clear dominance of the genus Aspergillus (49.45%). This dominance seems to be favored by high grain moisture, a slight acidity, a rate broken grain well determined. In comparison with the witness; the storage by coating of wheat grain with the extract decreases the frequency of contamination in a more or less important way. It was marked excellent anti-fungal effect.
