Precoppe, M.Chapuis, A.Müller, J.Abass, A.[Tunnel dryer and pneumatic dryer performance evaluation to improve smallscale cassava processing in Tanzania]Tunnel dryer and pneumatic dryer performance evaluation to improve smallscale cassava processing in Tanzania

Reducing both hunger and high expenditure on food imports is a priority for most developing African countries. Countries that hitherto have relied heavily on food imports are seeking new approaches to increase the utilization of locally grown crops. This review uses the case of cassava to propose...

A review of cassava transformation into "Bread" in Africa]Can food technology innovation change the status of a food security crop? A review of cassava transformation into "Bread" in Africa

Dried cassava products are perceived as one of the potential sources of mycotoxin ingestion in human foods. Processing either contributes to the reduction of toxins or further exposes products to contamination by microorganisms that release metabolic toxins into the products. Thus, the prevalence...

Cassava is a staple mostly eaten in the form of gari, after rice in Liberia. The local method of gari processing often leads to product contamination, thus, a study was done to assess the heavy metals and microbial contamination of gari in eight counties of the country. A total of sixty-one gari ...

A multi-mycotoxin method based on liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used for a mycotoxin survey in 627 samples of processed cassava collected from different districts across Tanzania and Rwanda after the method performance for this matrix had been determined. Matrix ef...

With its abundance of natural resources, Africa appears to be predestined for a typeof economy that centres on the use of bio-based resources. However, before acomprehensive approach can be applied, a large number of framework conditionsand policies will have to change, Adebayo Abass maintains.

Cassava is a significant food security and industrial crop, contributing as food, feed and industrial biomass in Africa, Asia and South America. Breeding efforts have led to the development of cassava variants having desirable traits such as increased root, flour, and starch yield, reduced toxici...

Background: As one of the most widely consumed foods, bread is one of the most important agricultural products. Bread made from high-quality cassava flour is consumed in some parts of Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA). The bread has no pro-vitamin S carotenoids (pVAC) due to the use of artificial colorants...

Particle characteristics are crucial knowledge to improve the process chain of cassava flour. Wet and dry grits, as the intermediate products, were investigated in this study. With respect to particle size, wet grits were predominately (66.7%) obtained between mesh size 0.50 and 1.00 mm, while dr...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is the most important staple food in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the shelf-life of the crop is short and, for this reason, the roots are usually processed into more stable products like cassava flour by village-based enterprises. Most of these enterprises use small-sc...
