Varietal influence of cassava on chemical composition and consumer acceptability of gari

Pierre Martial Thierry Akely et al.

Summary: The study found that cassava variety influenced the chemical composition and consumer acceptability of gari. Different cassava varieties showed variations in carbohydrate content, reducing sugar content, and fiber content, which in turn affected the taste and quality of gari.

From cassava to gari: mapping of quality characteristics and end-user preferences in Cameroon and Nigeria

Robert Ndjouenkeu et al.

Summary: User preferences for cassava and gari are influenced by specific root quality characteristics, with choice of cassava varieties for farming being determined by multiple factors including end uses, yield, and processing determinants supporting high-quality characteristics. Processing of cassava roots into gari involves various technological variants resulting in high-quality characteristics like dryness, color, and texture. Women are identified as important beneficiaries of initiatives focusing on breeding cassava clones and developing high-throughput selection methods to support decision-making by breeders.

Understanding cassava varietal preferences through pairwise ranking of gari-eba and fufu prepared by local farmer-processors

Bela Teeken et al.

Summary: The study in communities in Osun and Imo States of Nigeria focused on the cultivation and processing of improved and landrace cassava varieties, aiming to identify food quality criteria to inform demand-led breeding. Farmer-processors evaluated the quality of fresh roots and derived food products, with color, bulk density, swelling power, solubility, and water absorption capacity being key criteria related to food product ranking. Evaluation of varieties under farmer-processors' conditions is crucial for providing guidance to breeders on critical selection criteria.

A review of cassava semolina (gari and eba) end-user preferences and implications for varietal trait evaluation

Wasiu Awoyale et al.

Summary: This review examined the composition of gari, storage methods for raw cassava roots, enrichment levels, and end-user preferences for its sensory attributes. It found that the main sensory attributes of gari are color, taste, texture, aroma, and flavor, with a significant correlation between these attributes and the starch and cyanogenic potential contents of the raw roots.
