True Retention of Carotenoids During Gari Processing and Sensory Evaluation of Gari Produced with Yellow-Fleshed Cassava in Nigeria

This research project aims at determining the true retention of carotenoids in yellow-fleshed cassava during processing into gari, fufu and determination of nutrients of importance in cassava leaves. This will lead to evidenced based processing methods that reduce Vitamin A loses during processing.
