Principle of preservation and processing of cassava.
Cassava is fermented to remove cyanide and produce the desirable flavors. It is then roasted to destroy enzymes and microorganisms, to drive off cyanide gas, and to dry the product. Preservation is achieved by heating during roasting. A low moisture content inhibits recontamination by bacteria. Packaging is needed, especially in areas of high humidity, to retain the low moisture content.

Hygiene
Fresh cassava is a moist, low-acid food that is susceptible to bacterial and fungal growth. Hygienic practices, especially in the early stages of processing, is therefore ensure minimal contamination. All waste materials from the process is removed from the site as they are produced to avoid the risk of cross-contamination.


Process control

Washing should be carried out thoroughly to avoid contamination of the final product with peel, sand, and so on.

Fermentation is properly controlled, as too short a period will result in incomplete detoxification and a bland product. Too long a period will give the product a strong sour taste. Both over- and underfermentation also badly affect the texture of the finalĀ gari.
