Determination Of Cyanide Content In Yellow Root And White Root Cassava Tuber (Manihot esculanta crantz) From National Root Crop Research Institute, Umudike
ABSTRACT
The
Cyanide Content of four varieties of Cassava: (Tropical Manihot Selection; TMS 01/1638), (Tropical Manihot Selection; TMS 01/1412), (Tropical Manihot Selection; TMS 419), and (Tropical Manihot Selection; TMS
98/0505), from National Root Crop Research Institute (NRCRI), Umudike were
studied using Picrate method. The Cyanide contents were: TMS 01/1638 (0.424
) mg/kg, TMS
01/1412 (0.443
) mg/kg, TMS 419
(0.557
), AND TMS
98/0505 (0.518
) mg/kg. The
Cyanide content of the Yellow Root Cassava was found to be low compared to the
White Root Cassava. The results of the Cyanide Content in the Current study
were found to be within the acceptable unit as recommended by WHO.
