Primary Quality Control Parameters of Cassava Raw Materials

Abstract: Fresh cassava roots are transformed into shelf stable raw materials (flours and extracted starches). Chemical composition (moisture, protein, lipid, fibre and amylose content, cyanide contents), dry matter, starch extraction yields, particle size distribution and whiteness index are some of the quality characteristic requirements for selection of varieties in breeding programs, and raw materials for industrial processes. Starch yields ranges 20–35%, and vary with genotype. The crude protein (1–2%) and crude fa… Show more

“…Some of the qualities involved include pasting and gelatinization, both of which affect flour quality (Chisenga, 2021). Genotypes are categorized into four classes based on the levels of amylose: waxy, semi‐waxy, normal‐regular and high, with maximum amounts of 2, 15, 35 and >35% of amylose per total starch respectively (Chisenga, 2021). Most cultivated genotypes fall within the normal‐regular group, but genotypes completely lacking amylose, aka waxy category, have been naturally reported (do Carmo et al, 2020; Toae et al, 2019).…”

“…The physicochemical characteristic of starch is genotype dependent, with the levels of amylose being the main factor affecting culinary qualities. Some of the qualities involved include pasting and gelatinization, both of which affect flour quality (Chisenga, 2021).
