Detoxification of cassava products and effects of residual toxins on consuming animals by O.O. Tewe
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of cassava in livestock feeding has been limited. Reasons include the presence of toxic cyanogenic glucosides, deficiency in nutrients other than energy, dustiness of the dried products, mouldiness during processing and the high fibre and ash content of the peel, which limits the selection of other ingredients which are high in these components. Nevertheless, the development of cassava products which meet minimum requirements for incorporation into commercial livestock feed production, in cassava producing areas, would certainly relieve the pressure on demand for available cereal grains. Additionally it would help guarantee the supply of energy for livestock feeding, in these regions, that are perennially acutely short of animal feed ingredients and due to unfavourable trade balances are unable to make up deficiencies with imports.

Levels of Cyanide in Cassava Fermented with Lemon Grass (Cymbopogon citratus) and the Organoleptic Assessment of its Food Products
The effects of Cymbopogon citratus (lemon grass) on the detoxification of cassava tubers and the sensory evaluation of their cassava fufu products were investigated. One kilogram of freshly harvested cassava tuber was fermented with varying amounts (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 g) of lemon grass for one to five days. Fermentation resulted in a decrease in the cyanide content and this was signific...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), a shrubby tree of the Euphorbiaceous family, is an extensively cultivated plant in many tropical countries. Annual production estimate in Nigeria was 34 million tonnes in 2009 FAO [1]. Cassava root is a major source of dietary carbohydrate for human and livestock. It is widely accepted that plants grown in various location produced different quality and quant...
متن کاملOccurrence of Regulated Mycotoxins and Other Microbial Metabolites in Dried Cassava Products from Nigeria
Dried cassava products are perceived as one of the potential sources of mycotoxin ingestion in human foods. Processing either contributes to the reduction of toxins or further exposes products to contamination by microorganisms that release metabolic toxins into the products. Thus, the prevalence of microbial metabolites in 373 processed cassava products was investigated in Nigeria. With the us...

Molds and mycotoxins are contaminants of animal feed causing spoilage and clinical intoxication. Animal exposure to mycotoxins reflects diet composition with major differences occurring between animals kept predominantly of pastures, i.e. ruminants and horses, and those consuming formulated feed like pigs and poultry. Mixed feeds are composed of several ingredients, often sourced from different...

A preliminary study on statistical modelling of a process for depolymerisation of cassava non-starch carbohydrate using halide salt assisted phosphoric and pyruvic acids were accomplished. The effects of three independent variables namely; acid concentration, potassium iodide salt and duration were studied using the central composite rotatable design on hydrolysis of the cassava non-starch carb...
