The aim of this study was to evaluate the microbiological quality and mycotoxic presence in peanuts and highlight the eating habits, distribution channels, and health stores in different areas of the city of Fes. The results of this study show that the majority of consumers buy peanuts in bulk from the nearest grocer whose purchases are casual in Ramadan and especially during religious festivals. The analysis showed that the health stores and equipments require a deep review to avoid contamination. The microbiological analysis showed that wholesalers and retailers represent the highest non compliance compared to supermarkets; however the percentage of compliance in all samples does not exceed 50 to 60%. The Samples analyzed did not contain aflatoxin B1, which allows us to think that the samples are not contaminated with fungal species secreting aflatoxin. This work has also helped to develop a basis for rapid microbiological tests on liquid medium.

Abstract: (french)
L'objectif du travail était d'évaluer la qualité microbiologique et mycotoxiques des arachides et de mettre en évidence les habitudes alimentaires, les circuits de distribution, et l'hygiène des magasins dans les différentes zones de la ville de Fès. Les résultats de cette étude montrent que la majorité des consommateurs achètent les arachides en vrac auprès de l'épicier le plus proche dont les achats sont occasionnels surtout en Ramadan et durant les fêtes religieuses ; L'analyse de l'hygiène a montré que les magasins et les équipements nécessitent une revue profonde pour éviter des contaminations ; L'analyse microbiologique a montré que les grossistes et les détaillants représentent la plus forte non-conformité comparée aux grandes surfaces, cependant le pourcentage de conformité dans tous les échantillons ne dépasse pas 50 à 60% ; Les échantillons analysés ne contiennent pas d'aflatoxine B1, ce qui nous permet de penser que les échantillons ne sont pas contaminés par des espèces de champignons sécréteurs d'aflatoxine. Ce travail nous a permis également de mettre au point une base pour des tests microbiologiques rapides sur milieu liquide.
