Abstract (2. Language): 
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the risk associated with the use of plastic packaging on the quality of koutoukou (KTK, a traditional spirit) produced in Côte d'Ivoire. beverages (KTK) are collected and packed in plastic and glass bottles. Drinks so packed are kept in the laboratory at room temperature for 14 days. After this waiting period, the samples of koutoukou are removed to undergo various separation tests through the gas chromatography. constituents are less likely to migrate than plastic bottles constituents, in the case of conservation of alcoholic beverages. Conclusion: Koutoukou packed in plastic bottles or thins is a potential hazard for consumers and these packaging contribute to the deterioration of the quality of koutoukou produced and distributed in Côte d'Ivoire.
