Based on experiences in the Cassava: Adding Value for Africa (C:AVA) project, this paper examines emerging issues and lessons for adding value to cassava, one of Africa's widely cultivated staples in ways that contribute to the global market
environment as well as bring benefits to small holders ...

Fufu flour was produced from locally fabricated flash and rotary dryer. The functional, chemical and pasting properties of the fufu flour were investigated. The fufu flours were also cooked into ready to eat fufu paste and subjected to sensory evaluation. There were significant differences in the...

A hazard analysis survey of wet fufu processing was carried out for Wve processors around Abeokuta. This analysis consisted
of observing the raw materials and environment, watching all steps of the processing, recording pH during steeping/fermentation,
and collecting of samples from diced cassava...

Current global starch production is approximating 50 million tonnes. While the starch production growth rate steadily continues to surpass average population growth figures, the make-up by starch source and production regions have been changing. The world share of cassava-based starches may range...

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...

Cassava plays important roles. It is a famine reserve crop, a staple food for the rural populace and a cash crop for urban consumption. It is a source of industrial raw materials and earns foreign exchange. Unfortunately, the past decades witnessed too much emphasis on the production components o...
