Tayohounta is a pungent flavouring ball made by the Otamari of northern Benin from dehulled baobab seed kernels. The kernels are roasted briefly, boiled about half an hour, covered with leaves and left two days to ferment, then kneaded into balls and sun-dried. Bacillus dominates, and the pH rises from 6.4 to about 7 as the proteins break down.

At a glance
Tayohounta is a pungent flavouring ball made by the Otamari of northern Benin from dehulled baobab seed kernels. The kernels are roasted briefly, boiled about half an hour, covered with leaves and left two days to ferment, then kneaded into balls and sun-dried. Bacillus dominates, and the pH rises from 6.4 to about 7 as the proteins break down. Made in 5 steps over 2 days. The longest step, cover with leaves and ferment, takes 2 days (Chadare F.J. 2010) and runs at 24–31 °C (Chadare F.J. 2010). Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus thermoamylovorans do most of the fermenting.
Tayohounta uses dehulled, roasted baobab kernels fermented two days under leaves with no potash. Dikouanyouri, from the same villages, uses whole seeds that are boiled for hours and fermented with potash.
Tayohounta type 2Locust beans are cooked, decorticated and mixed with baobab kernels; both are boiled 45–60 min, spread and covered, fermented 48 h, then sun-dried, ground and shaped [Chadare2010].
Safety
Samples from village producers carried Bacillus cereus and, in one case, Staphylococcus aureus; the study calls for starter cultures to standardise the product [Chadare2010]. The sources set no numerical limit.
Hazards the sources name: Bacillus cereus (in two of three producers' samples); Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae (each in one of three samples).
Tayohounta was among up to 35 baobab food products that 253 processors in Benin reported in a survey from December 2006 to January 2007. The Otamari are among the largest consumers of baobab products in Benin [Chadare2010, Chadare2010efn].
