 In: In: Akoroda, M.O. (ed.). Triennial Symposium of the International Society for Tropical Root Crops-Africa Branch (5, 1992, Kampala, Uganda). Root crops for food security in Africa: ProceedingsSummary: A modified classroom chalk machine fabricated by PRODA (Nigeria) was assessed for cassava pellet production. With pulverized fermented peeled roots of sweet cassava, the machine could produce pellets measuring 2 cm (length) by 1 cm (diameter) at a capacity of 0.26 t/h. Nutrient levels for the press extruded pellets were 1.35 mg/kg cyanide, 8.5 percent moisture, 2.10 percent crude protein, 0.25 percent fat, 2.42 percent crude fibre and 85.38 percent total carbohydrates, while for the screw extruded pellets, and 2.02 mg/kg cyanide, 8.0 percent moisture, 2.10 percent crude protein, 0.15 percent fat, 1.67 percent crude fibre and 86.02 percent total carbohydrates
