Production and evaluation of Ighu from selected cassava varieties using a motorized shredder-a response surface analysis.

Cassava varieties, TME419, TMS30572, and TMS98/0505, were planted and harvested at 3-month intervals of 10, 13, and 16 months, respectively. A central composite response surface design was used to study the effects of the variables cassava variety, harvesting time, and shredding aperture on selected physicochemical properties of Ighu samples. Regression models showed that the experimental variables had significant (P ≤ 0.
