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...

New yellow cassava fresh roots biofortified with β-carotene are becoming popular in Sub-Saharan Africa in the making of traditional products for households. However, β- carotene is susceptible to rapid depletion during processing. Therefore, we investigated the impact of using different drying me...

Freeze-drying represents a very effective method to significantly prevent loss of nutrients, especially heat-sensitive compounds.
Moreover, osmotic dehydration is frequently applied prior to drying in order to facilitate moisture removal and improve quality. In the present study, the effect of os...
