Le pain, un aliment de tradition, est habituellement fabriqué à partir de la farine de blé, de l'eau, du sel et de la levure. Au cours des dernières années, la consommation de cette denrée alimentaire a connu une augmentation spectaculaire dans plusieurs pays en développement du fait d'une démogr...

For a long time, farmers in Nyanza and Western provinces in Kenya have had to deal with the Striga problem. To most of them Striga had become a way of life and they had given up hope. Striga affects their mainstay crops, which are maize, sorghum and mil- let. After an extensive search for...

This report presents the results of the baseline study undertaken to assess the status of Striga damage, the general livelihoods and livelihood strategies of the rural poor in western Kenya. A stratified random sampling method led to the selection of 8 districts, 16 sub-locations, 32 villages ...

The starchy staples of cassava (tuberous roots) provides more than half the calories consumed by more than 200 million people in sub-Saharan Africa, and the leaves are often used as a vegetable providing protein, vitamins and minerals. The cyanogenic potential of cassava has often been cited as a...

The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), in partnership with African institutions, is testing a research for development (R4D) approach to develop cassava productivity and agro-industry to reduce poverty and hunger in Africa. During the research phase (1983–1995), agro-processi...

Cassava is a cyanogenic plant which accumulates linamarin and lotaustralin in its tissues. The ability of damaged tissues to release hydrogen cyanide from linamarin and lotaustralin is at the origin of cassava's cyanogenic potential. The cyanogenic potential of a large number of cassava varieties...

The bread making potential of cassava flour (in cassava flour/defatted soya flour/glyceryl monostearate recipes (80:20:3, w/w)) prepared from 10 IITA cassava genotypes harvested at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) at 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 months after planting, was investi...

The distribution of the cyanogenic potential in cassava germplasm has been found to be a continuum from very low values to high levels. Within the same genotype, the cyanogenic potential is affected by the planting season; it is low when planted at the beginning of the rainy season, and high when...
