| Abstract: | Cassava root tubers (Ankra variety) were coated with 20, 30 and 40 per cent concentrations of lime suspension and stored at ambient temperature. On the ninth day of storage, the control sample and the treated tubers were found to have deteriorated. No significant changes were observed in the moisture and starch contents but there was an increase in the reducing sugar level whilst the acidity fell at the end of the storage trial |
