BACKGROUND: Orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) can be used to tackle vitamin A deficiency, a major public health problem in most developing countries. In East Africa, common ways of using sweetpotato include drying and subsequent storage. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of dryin...

Different drying treatments, cross flow, greenhouse solar, and open-air sun, were applied
to an American orange-fleshed sweetpotato variety. Trans-?-carotene losses in flour made from
dried chips varied between 16 and 34% in all treatments. Hot air cross flow drying retained
significantly more pr...

Breeding efforts have focused on improving agronomic traits of the cassava plant however little research has been done to enhance the crop palatability. This review investigates the links between cassava traits and end-user preference in relation with sensory characteristics. The main trait is st...
