Although cultivated by about 63% the population, cyanogenic glycosides other anti-nutritional factors, threaten safety. There more than...
Fermented Macrotermes nigeriensis-Cassava mahewu (MECM) has the potential to contribute substantially nutrition security due its enhanced protein and micronutrient contents. However, changes related fermentation time during processing are important factors that could affect nutritional quality. This study determined influence of (0 h 48 h) on (protein, Fe, Zn, Ca ascorbic acid), anti-nutritional (phytate oxalate tannins) digestibility freeze-dried fermented MECM using in-vitro digestion...
