“…Results obtained from this analysis shows that the maximum and minimum concentration range of Mn was 0.09-0.67 mg/kg with a mean monthly value which was basically below the recommended values by the US National Research Council (NRC) [39] specified estimated safe and adequate daily dietary intakes of 0.3-1, 1-3 and 2-5 mg/day for infants, children and adults respectively. This result is comparable to [34] reported range of 0.07-0.51 mg/kgMn and 0.002 mg/kgMn and 0.0016 mg/kgMn [33] while working on brands of Geisha and Founty canned fish respectively. But it was however lower than the corresponding maximum level of 15.77 mg/kg reported for canned sardines in Brazil [40].…”

“…Except for sardine stored in curry sauce and soybean oil, all other values were within the UK and COMA set permissible limit. However previous studies in Nigeria [33], revealed that 0.0379 mg/ kg and 0.0302 mg/kg were obtained while working on two different brands of canned fish. Results from this study are much higher than their findings but similar to results obtained earlier [34] while working on canned fish stored in brine and sunflower.…”

Trace amount of some metals like zinc, iron, manganese is normally constituent of natural water bodies, canned products and fishes. Excessive levels of metals can become detrimental to consumers of fish and fish products especially those stored for prolonged period at varied temperatures. Toxicological and environmental concerns have therefore prompted interest into the investigation of some of these metals especially in canned fish stored in different media, sold in Nigeria. In order to curb preventable damage to consumers’ vital organs as a result of unsuspecting elevated levels in consumed fish and fish products, this study will determine the presence of some metals in different storage media and compare their values with safe set-standard levels. Monthly mean concentration of metals was determined using Inductive Coupled Plasma-optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES), and values compared with permissible set-values by different moderating organizations like the Codex, World Health Organization (WHO) among others when considering metal contamination. Based on all the different storage media, an average concentration of 2.88–29.45 mg/kg Fe, 7.04–72.09 mg/kg Zn, 0.09–0.67 mg/kg Mn, 0.55–5.61 mg/kg Ni, 0.02–0.27 mg/kg V were detected during the period of study. This study is therefore intended to encourage comprehensive periodic monitoring of canned products in Nigeria market.

“…Fermentation considerably reduces antinutrients while simultaneously enhancing sensory characteristics, shelf life, nutritional availability, and digestibility. Used freshly peeled and grated cassava roots to undertake cassava root fermentation (Iwuoha et al, 2013). They came to the conclusion that successful detoxification requires 5-6 days.…”

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is believed to be an important staple food crop providing potential valuable food source as well as variety of phytoconstituents. Its starchy tubers provide a significant source of energy for around 500 million individuals. Among staple crops, it is regarded to be one of the top suppliers of carbohydrates. Its physicochemical qualities, as well as its availability, have made it a captivating food component. Cassava starch is a valuable raw material used to make a variety of both native and modified starch for cooking purposes. They have also been used for a variety of industrial uses. Cassava starch and flour have the potential to be valuable alternatives to rice, maize, and wheat crops. The advantages included being a staple diet for humans, a component of animal feeds, a raw ingredient for food processing, edible coatings, locally produced alcoholic beverages, and ethanol manufacturing. The roots consist of cyanogenic glycosides, which can lead to lethal cyanide poisoning if tubers arse not properly detoxified using different processing methods include washing, fermentation, boiling, peeling and chemical processing to escape toxin content. The current review summarizes cassava's bioactive components which could be a potential source of various pharmaceutical drugs as well as a source of traditional and modern food applications.
