摘要: This study investigated the effects of storage conditions: cool (15 ± 1°C, 90% relative humidity (RH)), ambient (23 ± 2°C, 60% RH) and higher (38 ± 2°C, on changes in physicochemical quality attributes two cassava flour cultivars (TME 419 UMUCASS 36) packaged paper bags stored for 12 weeks. Physicochemical microbial qualities were studied at weeks 0, 4, 8 12. Moisture content decreased from 12.0% to 7.1% 9.8% 6.8% ‘TME 419’ ‘UMUCASS 36’, respectively. Carotenoid was cultivar (cv.) 36’ (2.5 ± 0.10 mg/g) compare cv. (1.8 ± 0.11 mg/g). Colour indices significantly influenced by duration. A slight decrease load 5.4 4.8 log CFU/g observed, with increase temperature 15°C 38°C end storage. The condition best maintained nutritional quality.
