This study aimed at assessing the quality of attixe9;kxe9; produced in Côte d'Ivoire. Studies were carried out on traditional processing samples taken in the three main ethnical groups and on samples produced following a mechanized process (used as reference). Sensory, physical and biochemical characteristics were measured. The results showed significant variability of quality of the attixe9;kxe9; from the different processing zones. The attixe9;kxe9; of reference showed the best sour and sweet taste, expressed by high reducing sugars content (46.25 mg/100 g) and a low lactic (59.9 mg/100 g) and acetic acids (10.03 mg/100 g) content. Attixe9;kxe9; produced in Adjoukrou and Alladjan zones had similar sensory, physical and biochemical characteristics. They were different to this from Ebrixe9; producers which showed highest sour taste and acidity content. Their microbial quality became unsatisfying after only three days of storage at ambient temperature. These results constitute an important database for international specifications establishment.
