Gari, a traditional cassava semolina in West Africa: its stability and shelf life and the role of water

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 d...

Sumario: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.
