Effect of Traditional and Improved Cassava Processing on Cassava Derivative Products in Central African Republic
Journal Title: International Journal of Biochemistry Research & Review - Year 2017, Vol 20, Issue 3
Abstract
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a starchy staple food that previous researches have showed to contain cyanogenic compounds, precursors of hydrocyanic acid, undoubtedly toxic for humans. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of traditional and improved cassava processing in Cassava derived products. Data were analysed by unpaired student’s t-test at a confidence level of 95% (p<0.05). Carbohydrate, lipids, cyanogenic compounds and Humidity profile proved that there is variability between the measured parameters according to the traditional and improved cassava processing (p< 0, 0001).

Analysis of Isotopic Peaks in Hydrogen/Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectra for Precise Measurement of Isotope Average Centroid Mass of Peptides and Proteins Using R Programming Language
In hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectra, the shift in isotopically distributed peaks with deuterium incorporation into peptides results in an increase in the isotope average centroid mass. Due to limitations in the r...
