Packaging medium for cassava storage
1985
Data, E.
Cassava roots packed with moist sand and moist sawdust had lower incidence of decay and vascular streaking than roots packed with moist rice hull, dry sand, dry sawdust and dry rice hull. Roots packed with dry media and moist rice hull showed vascular streaking comparable to unpacked roots. Roots packed with moist sand and moist sawdust gained weight during storage while roots packed with moist rice hull and dry materials lost weight at increasing rate. Starch content decreased during storage in all treatments but those packed with moist sawdust and moist sand had higher starch content. The HCN content of the roots increased during 45 days of storage. Sensory evaluation showed that cassava roots stored in moist sand and moist sawdust were comparable to freshly harvested roots in terms of appearance, color, texture, flavor, and general acceptability
