  • Title: Particle size distribution of hydrocyanic acid in gari, a cassava-based product.
    Author: Maduagwu EN, Fafunso M.
    Journal: Toxicol Lett; 1980 Dec; 7(2):171-4. PubMed ID: 6270847.
    Abstract:
    A reciprocal relationship was observed between the cyanide content of gari and particle size. Hydrocyanic acid (HCN) content was positively correlated (r = 0.62) with sugar content but the correlation with starch content was poor (r = 0.33). From both the nutritional and toxicological standpoints, it would appear that larger particles size in gari is beneficial.
