Gari is a cassava semolina traditionally processed and widely consumed in West Africa. Its shelf-life is largely dependent on both its water content and storage temperature and relative humidity. This paper deals with gari's adsorption properties in relation to water availability at 15, 25, and 30 degrees C. From the results, optimal packaging conditions can be estimated, thus providing an extended shelf-life for gari.
