Evaluación de diferentes tipos de deshidratación de raíz y follaje de yuca amarga (Manihot esculenta) sobre su composición química

The aim of this study was to determine the impact of the type of drying treatment of roots and leaves of bitter cassava (Manihot esculenta), on its chemical composition. The treatments were: T1: yard drying (PS); T2: drying on room with glass roof (CS); T3: Stove (E) and T4: on drying tunnel (TS). Chemical analyses and hydrocyanic acid (HCN, free and total) concentration were determined. In the roots, MS, the total quantity of starch and of sugars reducers were not affected (P>0.05); while the percentage of total sugars increased with the drying temperature in TS and E (8.56 and 7.29, respectively), with differences (P0,05); mientras que el porcentaje de azúcares totales aumentó a medida que es mayor la temperatura de secado en TS y E (8,56 y 7,29, respectivamente), con diferencias (P
