Re-Evaluation Of Human Exposure To Cassava Cyanogen In Anambra State, South East, Nigeria:- Akonobi Juliet O
ABSTRACT
Garri is a stable food
made from Cassava, and mostly consumed in Nigeria either soaked for drinking or
prepared as “eba” This research work is aimed at determining the level of
cyanide in garri samples marketed in Anambra state, South Eastern region
ofNigeria. A total of 50 samples was purchased from the ten local government
areas. The cyanide content of the samples was determined using enzymatic method
with slight modification. The cyanide concentrations of the garri samples
gotten from the ten (10) Local government areas in Anambra state revealed that
there was a significant (p<0.05) difference in cyanide content within the
LGA’s under study. Total cyanide content of garri in Ekwusigo LGA revealed that
Ekwusigo5 had the highest concentration of 12.74 mg/kg compared to that
ofEkwusigo2 and EkwusigoS which had the lowest concentration of 10.17 mg/kg and
10.20 mg/kg respectively, The free cyanide content of gam sample in Aguata
showed that Aguata had the highest concentration of 11.97 mg/kg compared to
that of other
0.0
