    • ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]The aim of this work is to identify the bacteria found in Garri sold within Nsukka. Cassava (Manihot spp) is an important crop widely cultivated in Sub-Saharan Africa. Although, the crop is grown virtually in all parts of the sub-continent, production is specific in the humid tropics. Garri, a product from cassava, constitutes more than 70% of total cassava consumption in Nigeria. There are two types of cassava which are sweet and bitter.). A  food  safety  problem  with  cassava  is  that  cassava  roots  contain  considerable  quantities of  cyanide  which  occurs  in  ... Continue Reading

      CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]Cassava (Manihot spp) is an important crop widely cultivated in Sub-Saharan Africa. Although, the crop is grown virtually in all parts of the sub-continent, production is specific in the humid tropics (Okereke, Dosso and Salau, 2001). Cassava plays a major role in efforts to alleviate Nigeria’s food crisis because of its efficient production of food energy, all year round availability, and tolerance to extreme stress conditions and suitability to various farming and food systems (Awah and Tumanteh, 2001). Cassava is capable of providing food energy much more than maize, sorghum and rice ( ... Continue Reading

      CHAPTER FOUR - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]DISCUSSION Garri is the most popular fermented food product made from cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) and is widely consumed as processed by millions of people in West Africa where it forms a significant part of their diet (Edem et al., 2001; Kostinek et al., 2005; Oduro et al., 2000; Ogiehor et al., 2007). Some bacteria and molds have been reported to be present in garri (Ogiehor, Ikenebomeh, and Ekundayo, 2007; Jonathan, Abdul-Lateef, and Ayansina, 2013), Other hazards such as aflatoxins and cyanide have been detected in garri (Jonathan, Abdul-Lateef, and Ayansina, 2013; Adebayo, B.A., ...
