dc.description.abstractThe nutrients yields from three different cassava waste peels were investigated. The values varied slightly with the different cassava cultivars. Sample A (NR 07/0220) had the highest moisture value (72.36%) while sample B (TMS/419) had the lowest moisture value (66.08%). The percentage ash content of sample C (TMS/3055) was comparably higher than the other cultivars indicating that the mineral contents of sample C (TMS/3055) was higher than that of other cultivars. Sample A (NR 07/0220) had the highest protein value (6.86%) while sample B (TMS/419) had the lowest protein value (5.73%). All the three cultivars have appreciable high value of carbohydrates with the highest value found in sample B (TMS/419) at 89.25%. The waste peels of the three cassava cultivars examined have appreciable levels of nutrients and can make useful contributions in animal nutrition and bioethanol. The codes are descriptor characteristic code adapted from the international plant such as the manihot esculenta specie (TMS) while the NR describes the newly released pro-vitamin, a variety with yellow roots.
