“…Determination of Carbohydrate and Energy. Using arithmetic difference, the carbohydrate content of the sample was estimated [35,36]. With 4 calories for 1 g of carbohydrates, 4 calories for 1 g of proteins, and 9 calories for 1 g of crude fat, the energy value was estimated using Atwater and Rosa's thermal coefficients (1899).…”

“…With 4 calories for 1 g of carbohydrates, 4 calories for 1 g of proteins, and 9 calories for 1 g of crude fat, the energy value was estimated using Atwater and Rosa's thermal coefficients (1899). Using the formula below, the available carbohydrate (CHO) and energy value were calculated: CHO � [100 − (% moisture + % crude protein + % crude fat + crude fiber + % ash)] [35,36].…”

Cassava is a significant contributor to food security and an income source for smallholder farmers in southern Ethiopia. However, little research effort has been done so far based on designing field experiment samples for the biochemical composition of cassava accession at the country level. The study was conducted to assess the biochemical composition of cassava accessions in southwest Ethiopia. Flour samples from the storage roots of 64 cassava accessions were collected and were run in duplicates. Data on 13 biochemical characters were collected and analyzed using standard methods. The analysis of variance showed significant to very highly significant differences among the tested accessions for biochemical composition. The flour moisture ranged from 4.83–10.11%, dry matter (89.89-95.17%), organic matter (86.71–92.65%), ash (2.1–3.96%), fiber (1.14–3.00%), fat (0.26-1.4%), crude protein (1.28-2.86%), starch (65.1–74.2%), carbohydrate (81.29–87.94%), energy (341.44–367.61 kcal/100g DM), and cyanide (1.67–3.14). The highest GCV = 29.54% was shown for crude fat, followed by GCV = 16.94% for crude fiber, and GCV = 16.11% for tannin, whereas, among the characters, dry matter was observed to be the lowest (GCV = 0.84%). The GAM ranged from protein 0.30% to 54.94% for fat, while heritability ranged from flour moisture and dry matter (17.29%) to 84.88% for cyanide. The first five principal components explained 80.1% of the total variation, with PC I accounting for 37%, PC II 15.4%, PC III 11.6%, PC IV 8.4%, and PC V 8.20% of the total variation. This study found the presence of high biochemical variability among the tested accessions’ roots and could be used to select accessions with desirable biochemical composition in future breeding work.

Nigeria has the potential to generate 12,522 MW of electricity, but can only dispatch 4000 MW, which is insufficient for a population of over 200 million people as of 2022. Therefore, Nigerians use solid fuels including firewood and charcoal as an alternative to insufficient electricity for domestic use. The consumption of firewood and charcoal in Nigeria is estimated at 23,745,458 tons and 4,828,689 tons, respectively in 2021, by far the most consumed domestic solid fuel sources in Nigeria. Although there are domestic solid fuel alternatives, such as dung, agricultural residues and coal, to firewood and wood charcoal, their sustainable adoption has been slow in Nigeria, indicating that there is insufficient knowledge of domestic solid fuel sources. This requires a review focused on assessing Nigeria’s national sources of solid fuels. This article presents an overview of the sources of domestic solid fuels in Nigeria, an exploration of different types of firewood and charcoal studies, the impact of solid fuels on climate change and the environment, health risks associated with solid fuel and biomass briquettes and pellets as domestic solid fuel alternatives to charcoal and firewood. The continued production and use of firewood and wood charcoal as domestic solid fuel sources encourage deforestation, desertification and greenhouse gas emission, which in turn pose a threat to a sustainable environment and good health. It is necessary to limit the felling of trees for firewood and charcoal production to curtail their negative impacts on the health of users and the environment. This review covered the thermal, mechanical and physical properties of briquette and pellet fuels as substitutions for firewood and charcoal. It was shown that employing briquettes and pellets as a source of solid fuel in the home will lessen the negative impacts that these fuels have on users’ health, the climate and the environment.
