ABSTRACT
This study was designed to evaluate the potentials of sweet cassava variety TMS 4(2) 1425being manihet palmata and bitter varieties TMS 30572, TMS 30555, and NR 8082 being Manihot utilisima Crantz flours used in the production of fufu,in carrying out the process the root was weighed before and after washing then peele, washed, sliced, fermentation, washing of the fermented mash and dried erther sundrying or oven drying.
The sensory evaluation were carried out when the products from 4 (2) 1425 was generally accepted by the panelists but the most parameters considered during evaluation were taste, colour, odour, mouth feel, texture. The proximate analysis of the analysis of the ash content, protein, moisture, carbohydrate, cyanide content was carried out. In order to conter on the fufu a long shelf- life, good consumer appeal and improved hygiene status (fliRo 1988) The granulation, drying and milling were considered as necessary operational extension to the mechanized process.
