Biography:
Dr. KOUADIO Natia Joseph studied biochemistry-microbiology at the University Félix Houphouet-Boigny in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, where he obtained a PhD in food biotechnology. I was recruited as a researcher at the same university in February 2017. I am working on valorization of the senescent plantain through its transformation into a food called dockounou. Currently, we are planning to enrich it with soybean and fish and then transform it into flour in order to make it a food to fight against malnutrition. These research projects have received funding from PASRES and from the Romanian government under the Eugen Ionesco scholarship.
Title : Probiotic potential of lactobacillus plantarum strains isolated from fermented paste of plantain dockounou enriched with soybean and fish
