This study was designed to evaluate the potentials of sweet cassava variety TMS 4(2) 1425being manihet palmata and bitter varieties TMS 30572, TMS 30555, and NR 8082 being Manihot utilisima Crantz flours used in the production of fufu,in carrying out the process the root was weighed before and after washing then peele, washed, sliced, fermentation, washing of the fermented mash and dried erther sundrying or oven drying.
The sensory evaluation were carried out when the products from 4 (2) 1425 was generally accepted by the panelists but the most parameters considered during evaluation were taste, colour, odour, mouth feel, texture. The proximate analysis of the analysis of the ash content, protein, moisture, carbohydrate, cyanide content was carried out. In order to conter on the fufu a long shelf- life, good consumer appeal and improved hygiene status (fliRo 1988) The granulation, drying and milling were considered as necessary operational extension to the mechanized process.

ABSTRACT This work examined the physicochemical properties of cocoyam flour. Cocoyam corms were cleaned, peeled, diced, blanched, sundried, milled and sieved to obtain flour of fine particle sizes. Physical properties and chemical composition of the flour were determined in accordance with standard methods. The results of the physical properties... Continue Reading

ABSRACT Radon is a natural radioactive inert gas that is odorless, colorless and tasteless. It cannot be detected without special equipment and it occurs as a product of uranium decay. Radon is an unstable radionuclide that disintegrates through short lived decay products before eventually reaching the end product of stable lead. The short lived... Continue Reading
