- Intervention effect Oven drying produced a higher drying rate than sun drying, with rates of 0.15-0.20 g/min for oven drying and 0.022-0.025 g/min for sun drying.
- Observation Sample E had the lowest drying rates in both drying technologies.
- Observation Final moisture content of oven-dried cassava chips ranged from 12.05 to 14.81%.
- Observation Sample D had the highest moisture content in both drying technologies.
- Observation Cyanide retention after oven drying ranged from 0.00930 to 0.05339 mg/g.
- Observation Cyanide retention after sun drying ranged from 0.00728 to 0.01589 mg/g.
- Observation Sample D had the highest cyanide retention after oven drying.
- Observation Sample E had the lowest cyanide retention after sun drying.
- Intervention effect Cyanide content elimination was more effective in sun-drying than in oven-drying.
- Mechanism Cyanide elimination in sun drying is explained by drying temperatures below 55℃, which are optimal for cyanogen degradation.
- Association Drying time had no effect on the results, which depended only on drying temperature.
- Observation Cyanide retention in oven and sun drying could be compared favourably to the standard value.
