Proximate analyses of compounds, i.e. the moisture, protein, fat,
ash and fiber content, present in the cassava flours and starches
followed the standard AOAC methods (2000). Starch content and
a-amylase activity in flour were determined by the Megazyme
amyloglucosidase/a-amylase method (McCleary, Gibson, &
Mugford, 1997) and by the CERAPHA method of McCleary and
Sheehan (1987) using an a-amylase assay kit (Megazyme; ICC
standard No.303), respectively.
