Article Synopsis
- Fermented cassava roasting, used for producing the popular Nigerian food gari, traditionally relies on firewood, which is inefficient and poses health risks to rural communities, particularly for women and children.
- This study explores a solar-powered roasting system using a concentrated parabolic solar collector, achieving higher and more efficient roasting temperatures (118°C - 154°C) compared to traditional methods.
- The system not only reduces harmful smoke emissions but also supports sustainable practices, aiming to alleviate health risks and contribute to zero-emission goals in gari production.
