Generally, the highest sugar content was recorded for the freeze-dried samples. The data generated were statistically analyzed for descriptive, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the means were separated at p sun > freeze drying. The flour samples from these drying methods were analyzed using standard laboratory methods for primary chemical, functional and pasting properties. Methods: Fresh Roots of the seven cassava clones (harvested 12 months after planting) were sampled, peeled, washed and dried using the three drying methods (sun-drying, oven-drying and freeze-drying). This study investigated the effects of different drying methods on the chemical, functional and pasting properties of selected advanced cassava clones grown in Zambia. Hence the evaluation of processing procedures to extend the product's shelf-life cannot be overemphasized. However, cassava roots deteriorate quickly after harvest, producing flour or chips of sub-optimal quality. Introduction: Cassava (Manihot esculanta) is becoming an important crop in most developing countries, especially Zambia. 4Food Science Laboratory, International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Eastern Africa Hub, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.3Cassava Breeding Unit, International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Southern Africa Research and Administration Hub (SARAH) Campus, Lusaka, Zambia.2Food and Nutrition Sciences Laboratory, International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Ibadan, Nigeria. ![]() 1Food and Nutrition Sciences Laboratory, International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Southern Africa Research and Administration Hub Campus, Lusaka, Zambia. ![]() Emmanuel Oladeji Alamu 1,2 *, Noah Manda 3, Pheneas Ntawuruhunga 3, Adebayo Abass 4 and Busie Maziya-Dixon 2
