Sustainable Cassava Processing In Brazil : Reducing Water & Energy Footprint with Modern Tech

Image
Cassava (mandioca/aipim) is a cornerstone of Brazilian agriculture and food security. However, traditional cassava processing methods for flour (farinha), starch (polvilho), and other derivatives are notoriously resource-intensive, consuming vast quantities of water and energy. Modern technologies now offer transformative solutions to these environmental concerns. Traditional Processing Challenges in Brazil's Cassava Processing Industry Water: Massive volumes are used for cassava root washing, peeling (often via soaking), and equipment cleaning. Wastewater, high in organic matter (cyanogenic glycosides, starch, fibers), poses significant pollution risks if untreated. Energy: High thermal energy demand for drying (especially for farinha) and significant electrical power for grating, dewatering, and milling are major cost drivers and contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Modern Technologies Driving Sustainable Cassava Processing in Brazil Water Consumption Reduction 1...

3 Key Technological Breakouts in Garri Industrial Production: Peeling, Dehydration, and Frying

Image
Garri, is produced through a series of sophisticated processes that require precision and efficiency. The industrial production of garri involves several critical steps, among which peeling, dehydration, and frying stand out as the most technologically demanding. Henan Jinrui Food Technology Co., Ltd. has pioneered advancements in garri processing area, offering equipment that significantly enhances productivity, quality, and safety. This article explores the key technological breakthroughs in these three steps: peeling, dehydration and frying, highlighting the advantages of Jinrui’s equipment as derived from the garri production line summary. 1. Peeling: Achieving High Efficiency and Hygiene Peeling is the critical step in garri production, where the outer layer of cassava roots is removed to eliminate impurities and reduce toxicity. Traditional peeling methods are often inefficient and can result in incomplete peeling or damage to the cassava pulp. To address this chall...

Guide for building up a small scale garri processing factory in Ghana

Image
The garri processing industry in Ghana is booming, and many are looking to invest in garri processing factorys. If you're new to the industry, Henan Jinrui recommends starting small to reap substantial profits without significant investment! In this article, Henan Jinrui will provide a comprehensive guide to setting up a small-scale garri processing factory in Ghana, covering everything from supply chain development to quality control. Stable cassava supply chain 1. Ensure Raw Material Supply The stable supply of raw materials can ensure the smooth operation of your Ghana garri processing factory. Cassava is the main raw material for garri production. In Ghana, cassava roots can be planted throughout the year, and they are relatively easy to purchase. For a small-scale processing plant, it is necessary to ensure a stable and sufficient supply. You can consider growing cassava on your own farm to have more control over the quality and quantity of raw materials. Alternat...

Improved cassava processing technology to enhance food security in Nigeria

Image
As Africa’s largest cassava producer (over 60 million metric tons annually), Nigeria relies on cassava for calories, income, and rural employment. Yet, post-harvest losses exceeding 40% and labor-intensive traditional processing severely limit its potential. Embracing improved processing technology is critical for achieving sustainable food security in Nigeria. cassava flour and gari production flow The Bottlenecks in Traditional Cassava Processing Technology Nigeria’s food security struggles are rooted in cassava’s perishability and inefficient handling: - Rapid Spoilage: Fresh roots deteriorate within 48 hours, forcing rushed sales at low prices. - Manual Labor Dominance: Cassava grating, dewatering, and frying are physically taxing, slow, and yield inconsistent products like garri or fufu. - Low Value Addition: Only 10% of cassava is industrially processed, missing opportunities in cassava starch, cassava flour, and biofuels. Transformative Cassava Processing Technologies ...

A guide to expanding from cassava planting to cassava flour processing in Indonesia

Image
Cassava holds a significant place in Indonesia's agricultural landscape. It is the third most consumed food commodity in the country, following rice and corn. Indonesia has a vast potential for cassava cultivation, with around 1.4 million hectares of land dedicated to its growth, yielding approximately 24.56 million tons annually. However, currently, cassava is often underutilized, mainly used for direct consumption or as animal feed. To maximize the commercial value of cassava, a growing number of cassava farmers are expanding into cassava flour processing. Here, Henan Jinrui provides a comprehensive guide outlining the key steps in Indonesia's transition from cassava planting to cassava flour processing. 1. Market Research & Feasibility Study Before expanding from cassava planting to cassava flour processing, the first step is to conduct cassava flour market research and feasibility study. - Demand Analysis: Identify the local and in...
