Effect of drying and storage on the degradation of carotenoids in orange-fleshed sweetpotato cultivars
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...

The identification, introduction and development of cassava drying technology has led to a more stable and wider cassava market in several important cassava growing regions in Latin America. In turn, this has been an incentive for small-scale cassava farmers to increase both cassava area and prod...
