Serum 8,12-iso-iPF2α-VI isoprostane marker of oxidative damage and cognition deficits in children with konzo. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 We sought to determine whether motor and cognitive deficits associated with cassava (food) cyanogenic poisoning were associated with high concentrations of F2-isoprostanes, well-established indicators of oxidative damage.

Enhanced Cassava Flour Quality to Improve the Cassava Bread by Attibutes Yeast Fermentation. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrYeast fermentation enhances cassava flour's nutrition, increasing protein from 0.89 ± 0.08 to 3.86 ± 0.12 g/100 g, reducing hydrocyanic acid from 32.64 ± 0.67 to 7.40 ± 0.22 mg/kg, and boosting flavor compounds. It modifies physicochemical properties: smaller particle size, lower paste viscosity, more ordered crystal structure, and improved processing ...

Redirecting Intermediary Metabolism to Counteract Cyanide Poisoning. [PDF]
FASEB JCyanide is coined “the classic metabolic poison”; however, FDA‐approved cyanide chelators do not counteract cyanide's metabolic damage. Here, we review the mechanisms of cyanide toxicity, with a focus on intermediary metabolism. We present the theory that, within the innate plasticity of the metabolome, there may reside metabolic pathways that can ...

Konzo associated with war in Mozambique [PDF]
Tropical Medicine & International Health, 1997 We report an epidemic of konzo, symmetric spastic paraparesis associated with cassava consumption and cyanide exposure: 384 patients were treated in rehabilitation centres; the prevalence rate in a badly affected area was 30/1000. Most patients were children over 3 and women.

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Gari or Tapioca or Rale, a roasted yellow or white granulated product found on market stalls of sub‐Saharan African countries (SSA), is made from cassava through the successive steps of peeling, grating, fermentation and/or dewatering, and roasting, and is the most consumed cassava derived product. The strengthening of its value chain can contribute to

International Journal of Food Science, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Some plant foods evolve defense mechanisms to protect themselves from predators by producing inherent chemicals as secondary metabolites such as cyanogenic glycosides, glycoalkaloids, glucosinolates, pyrrolizidine alkaloids, and lectins. These metabolites are beneficial for the plant itself but toxic to other organisms, including human beings.
