@article{Ogunwole_Oladimeji_Awe_Olaoye_Olaleke_2025, title={METHIONINE AND LYSINE PROFILE OF TUBER AND PRODUCTS OF CASSAVA (MANIHOT ESCULENTA CRANTZ) VARIETIES}, url={https://mail.njap.org.ng/index.php/njap/article/view/8805}, DOI={10.51791/njap.vi.8805}, abstractNote={<p><em>The essential amino acids content of cassava and its products were assessed in this study. A year-old cassava </em><em>varieties; TMS 01/1412, TMS 01/1371, TMS 01/1368, TMS 07/0593 and TME 419, were harvested and processed. </em><em>The products were; fresh peeled tuber, garri, garri flour, grit, grit flour, peelings, peels and leaves. The products </em><em>were analysed for both methionine and lysine and ensuing data were subjected to descriptive statistics and ANOVA </em><em>at α</em><em>0.05</em><em>. Results showed that both amino acids (AA) were present in the analysed cassava tuber and products. </em><em>Cassava leaves had the highest concentration (4.31-5.20 g/kg methionine and ii.15-14.86 g/kg lysine) of both AA </em><em>(p&lt;0.05) among the products analysed. However, cassava variety TMS 01/1412 consistently had higher (p&lt;0.05) </em><em>concentrations of both AA compared to other varieties. Thus, cassava and its by-products contained sizable </em><em>content of high-quality AA desirable in animal feeding if properly processed.</em></p>}, journal={Nigerian Journal of Animal Production}, author={Ogunwole, O.
