The Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is the basis of several typical foods from northern region Brazil, among which stand out cassava flour, water tapioca gum and tucupi. As certain varieties have a high cyanide content, prepared these must be evaluated for their in order to guarantee food health. In this sense, work aimed evaluate free content tucupi samples sold popular markets Santarém-PA,...

Cassava is an important tropical root cropwidely grown in many part of the world in a range of agro-ecological environments. The crop can be used for food and non-foods products. Cassava is capable of providing starch for use in drug industries, it is a stable source of dietary energy for more than 500 million. Nonetheless, despite the nutritional and economic significance of the cassava crop, ...

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...

Cassava (Manihot spp.) has become an important crop in many parts of the world for processing into several human foods and industrial commodities. Increased utilization of cassava and its products has been a catalyst for industrial development, creating sources of income for farmers, processors and traders. In poorer developing countries of the tropical and semi-tropical climates where wheat ca...

The yield and properties of ethanol biofuel produced from five different whole cassava flours were investigated. Ethanol was produced from five different whole cassava flours. The effect of quantity of yeast on ethanol yield, effect of whole cassava flour to acid and mineralized media ratio on the yield of ethanol produced, and the physical properties of ethanol produced from different cassava ...

This study investigated the metabolizable energy (ME) intake, net energy of production (NEp), heat production (HP), efficiencies of ME use for energy, lipid and protein retention as well as the performance of broiler chickens fed diets based on cassava chips or pellets with or without supplementation with an enzyme product containing xylanase, amylase, protease and phytase. The two products, ca...

Begomoviruses (Geminiviridae) are serious plant pathogens infecting dicotyledonous plants among important crop plants. The majority of the members comprises bipartite genomes (DNA A and B), encapsidated in twin particles and transmitted by the whitefly-vector Bemisia tabaci. Cassava (Manihot esculenta, Crantz) production is restricted by begomovirus inducing Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) in Afri...

Efforts are underway to develop staple crops with improved levels of provitamin A carotenoids to help combat dietary vitamin A deficiency (VAD), which has afflicted the health of resource-poor people in the developing world. As a staple crop for more than 500 million people in sub-Saharan Africa, cassava enriched with provitamin A carotenoids could have a widespread nutritional impact. To this ...

A Kuga fiber variety is a family of abelian varieties parametrized by a locally symmetric space and is constructed by using an equivariant holomorphic map of Hermitian symmetric domains. We construct a complex torus bundle T over a Kuga fiber variety Y parametrized by X and express its cohomology H∗(T ,C) in terms of the cohomology of Y as well as in terms of the cohomology of the locally symme...

The objective pursued in this work is to try put evidence the ecological role of cassava culture installed by no burning biomass on management stock total organic carbon soil. Thus, an extent 0,48 ha has been delimited and subdivided 24 parcels which were pedological pits where 48 samples soil that means - unsettled others, appropriated slices 0-20 20-40 cm depth these served for determination ...
