Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Cyanogenic glucoside level was not significantly correlated with crop yield.
- Observation Most cyanide reduction occurred during fermentation.
- Observation Frying further enhanced cyanide reduction.
- Observation The optimal fermentation duration for NR 8082 and the local cultivar was 3 days.
- Observation The optimal fermentation duration for TMS 4(2) 1425 and TME 419 was 2 days.
- Recommendation Authors advised care in cultivar choice and processing method because the latter depends on the former.
