Pulp and flour of 12 months were higher than the 23 months mature roots. Moisture, crude protein, crude fat, and cyanide contents of the cassava flour varied between 10.1% and 10.3%, 2.2% and 2.4%, 0.2% and 0.3%, and 12.1 and 13.4 mg HCN/100 g, respectively. Diastatic activity of the flour ranged from 115 to 243 mg maltose for fresh and roots stored for 3 days. Water-holding capacity of the roots and peak viscosity of flours decreased during storage. Sensory results showed that cassava biscuits were acceptable and compared favorably with the wheat biscuits. 收起
