Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Cyanogenic potential of cassava peels from Kampala food markets averaged 856 mg cyanide equivalent/kg dry matter.
- Observation Cyanogenic potential of peels of 14 cassava cultivars ranged from 253 to 1081 mg cyanide equivalent/kg dry matter.
- Observation High cyanogenic cassava cultivars dominate the market and pose a poisoning danger to livestock fed fresh peels.
- Intervention effect Sun-drying reduced cassava peel cyanide potential to below 100 mg cyanide equivalent/kg dry matter by 48 h.
- Intervention effect Heap fermentation reduced cassava peel cyanide potential to below 100 mg cyanide equivalent/kg dry matter by 72 h.
- Intervention effect Soaking reduced cassava peel cyanide potential to below 100 mg cyanide equivalent/kg dry matter by 96 h.
- Intervention effect Sun-drying caused an early sharp fall in cassava peel cyanide potential.
- Recommendation Cassava peels could be safely used as livestock feed if treated to reduce cyanogenic potential.
