PHYSICOCHEMICAL AND ORGANOLEPTIC PROPERTIES OF FLOUR AND FUFU PROCESSED FROM CASSAVA VARIETIES

THE FUTURE OF CASSAVA IN NIGERIA.

In Nigeria, other countries of the world's future, modified starches that are specially formulated for individual application will continue to find new uses. Whenever you cassava. In your product, you will be assisting the diversifying the economy and improving the livelihood of millions of poor farmers and rural processors. Nigeria the would largest producer of cassava has to take urgent step to develop the utilization of cassava and to sustainable commercialize the crop. In the industries listed below are cassava bye - products which the industries use in the production.

(1) TEXTILES: Cassava starch is used in the stages of textile processing, sizing the yarn stiffen and protect it during weaving, improving colour consistency during, printing, and making the fabric durable and shining at finishing. (2) PAPER INDUSTRIES:- Modified starch from cassava is used in wet stage of paper making to flocculate the pulp. In order to improve the rate and the reducing the pulp loss. Native and modified cassava ink consumption to improve print quality.

PLYWOOD: Glue made from cassava starch is a key material in plywood manufacturing. the quality of plywood depends having on the glue that is used.

PHARMACEUTICALS:- Native and modified starches are used as bounders, filers and disintegrating agents for tablet production.

SWEETNERS:- Glucose and fructose made from cassava starch are used as substrates for sucrose in jams and canned fruits cassava based sweeteners are preferred formulators for their improved processing characteristics and product enhancing properties.

BIODEGRADEABLE PRODUCTS:- Cassava starch can be used as a biodegradable polymer to replace plastics in packaging materials.

MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE:- The starch is a common source for non - glutamate in Asia, it is used to enhance flavour in food e.g Ajinomoto. Confectionery modified cassava starch are often donates starch derivatives and are also used for confectionery for different purposes. Such as thinking and glancing cassava starches are used such as glues and gums.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

AD: Are You Stuck in Your Final Year Project? Join Our Research Community for Help!

(1) The aim of this research work is to produce an instant fufu flour for fufu productions by four different varieties of cassava inoder to know the variety that is good for fufu production. (2) To determine the chemical composition of the four varieties of cassava. (3) The physic - chemical and organoleptic properties is determine in order to get the quality and nutritional composition it contains. (4) To know the variety that the papanelist considers best so from there you will know from result the one the consumer will buy ad that will be more marketable so that you'll also make gams also.
