Abstract

To ensure the safety and effective disinfection of these hydroalcoholic products, their formulation must meet quality standards. Our study is based on quality control of the physico-chemical parameters of several products available on the national market. Our tests on seven samples revealed that products C and D have density values of 0.84 and 0.80 respectively, and do not comply with the standards set by the World Health Organization (WHO). The pH values of the products analyzed ranged from 5.5 to 6.6, with only A failing to meet WHO standards. The UV-visible method presents alcohol contents ranging from 65% to 100%, and shows that products B and D do not meet WHO recommendations. Given the results obtained, it would be useful to introduce control techniques for hydroalcoholic products on the Senegalese market.
