Transiting cassava into an urban food and industrial commodity through agroprocessing and marketing driven approaches: lessons from Africa
Processing cassava onto pellets, an internationally acceptable and commercially rewarding cassava product minimizes quantitative and qualitative losses. Pellet samples were produced through the conventional chipping, drying, milling then pelleting with and without steaming (CDMP-S and CDMP) and m...
