“…They had low moisture content and appear adequate as they can serve as supplements to other conventional feedstuffs. The crude protein of the feedstuffs in this study was higher than the crude protein reported by Babayemi et al(2010). The crude protein content of cassava leaves in this study was higher than that reported by Ukanwoko and Ibeawuchi (2014).…”

The study was carried out to determine the nutrient composition, anti-nutritional factors and mineral content of crop residues and kitchen wastes fed to small ruminants in Choba and to ascertain the best crop residues and kitchen wastes suitable to these animals. The samples of crop residues and kitchen wastes commonly fed to small ruminants were collected from farms, home of farmers and restaurants around the study area. They were dried and analysed for moisture content, crude protein, crude fibre, ether extract, and ash and nitrogen free extract. The anti-nutritional factors (saponins, tannins and phytate) were checked and the mineral content (calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and sodium) were also analysed. The data obtained were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results gotten showed that the nutrient composition, anti-nutritional factors and mineral content were significantly different (P<0.05). These crop residues and kitchen wastes (maize cob, vegetable residues, ripe plantain peels, cassava leaves, cassava peels, yam peels, cocoyam peels and banana peels) showed low levels of anti-nutrients within tolerable levels (3% for saponins and 2% for tannins) for small ruminants. Cowpea pod (4.85%), pineapple wastes (5.02%) and banana peels (3.00%) had tannin levels higher than the recommended 2% for small ruminants and as such need further processing to reduce their tannin levels. All the crop residues and kitchen wastes had adequate levels of minerals especially calcium and phosphorus and their nutrient compositions fell within the requirements for small ruminants. Therefore, these crop residues and kitchen wastes should be used for small ruminant feeding.

“…Another reason could be the increased growth and proliferation of microorganisms in form of single cell protein, which accounted for the increase in the protein content of the CaP with OPS. This result is in accordance with the established results by other authors (Adebiyi, 2006;Okpako et al, 2008;Babayemi, 2010) that fermentation reduces the CF and increases the CP of a feed. Although there were significant variations, that could be attributed to the different levels of CaP inclusion ratios in each diet at a constant OPS.…”

“…Reduced ash content recorded for diet A was statistically similar to that obtained for diet F which might have been an indication of a reduced microbial activity in both diets. This result disagreed with the findings of Okpako et al (2008) and Babayemi (2010) that fermentation increased the ash content of cassava products.…”

“…High NDF could result in low intake while high ADF may hinder digestibility (Babayemi et al, 2010). Judging by the results in Tables 1, 2, 3 and that obtained, in Figure 1, it could be inferred that the features of fermentation and break down of the fibrous cell wall components of the Diets, reduced the ADF and NDF values.…”

“…Grazing animals have adequate amount of lush pasture to feed on in the wet season, which is usually low in nutritive value. The latter (dry) six months of the year are characterized by scarcity and lignifications of available forage with low protein content (Babayemi et al, 2010). This various preponderances in livestock production, have made researchers sort out other alternative ways that could solve the problem of feed all year round like the browse plants, crop residues and agro industrial wastes and by products.…”

Extraction and Characterization of Starch from Cassava Peels

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Cassava peels are waste generated worldwide in large amounts by the cassava processing industry. Although some studies have highlighted their application for animal feed, a more profitable use for these residues has not yet been implemented. Thus, the aim of this study is to extract starch from the peels of cassava and to characterize its physical, chemical, rheological, structural, thermal, and morphological properties. The content (23.2%) and the properties of the starch extracted from cassava residues are within the ranges of those extracted from the flesh, and of those from other sources such as corn and sorghum. Centesimal composition data show low contents of proteins, ash, and lipids. The extracted starch presents an amylopectin‐to‐amylose ratio of 5:1, which facilitates gelatinization and contributes to high solubility and swelling power, highly desirable properties for food applications. The high thermal stability of the extracted starch suggests strong intermolecular and intramolecular interactions of the starch molecules, a characteristic that favors its application in processes where elevated temperatures are applied.
