Fufu Flour

Fufu is a
fermented wet-paste made from cassava. It is ranked next to gari as an indigenous
food of most Nigerians in the south. Fufu is made by steeping whole or cut peeled
cassava roots in water to ferment for a maximum of three days, depending on
ambient temperature. Process flow chart for fufu During steeping, fermentation
decreases the pH, softens the roots, and helps to reduce potentially toxic cyanogenic
compounds. When sufficiently soft, the roots are taken out, broken by hand, and

imal feed, either in its wet form or after sun-drying. The sieved mass is allow

high powered Press. The cake is then sifted before drying. Apart from being ea
y to prepare the consumable form, dried fufu has the advantages of having a longer
helf life,being more convinient to store, and less bulky. When cooked, fufu
is a creamy/white smooth textured product. When properly packaged and stored,
ried fufu flour has a shelf-life of six months or more. Postharvest Equi p

Fermentation system for fufu production

The Two types of fermentation are currently gaining wider acceptance by cassava
processors in Nigeria. Submerged technology
The technique adopted is the typical Yoruba fufu processing method. Peeled cassava
roots are washed and soaked in fermenting vats for 4 days. The fermented roots are
then sieved in muslin cloths. The filtrate is discarded. The sediment is collected in
baskets and drained, then packed in woven polyethylene fiber sacks and allowed to
drain. Submerged/Solid State technology
The technique adopted is typical of the south-south and south-east fufu processing
method. It differs from the traditional in three ways:

• Grating of cassava roots after 3 days of submerged fermentation using a

mechanical grater.
• A second stage of solid state fermentation (this can be described as "double
fermentation").
• Sieving with very little water.

Use of surface tanks for fermentations The construction of surface tanks

facilitates the soaking of cassava tubers and can increase the volume of fufu
processed per cycle. Different types of tank can be constructed, but the most
efficient are those with accessible stoppers/taps to control water flow and drain off,
and those with effective drainage areas. These save on the time and drudgery spent
in emptying the tanks by hand. Processors can get tanks made for them or rent
them from service providers. Processing Equipment

1. Weighing Balance
2. Washing machine
3. Presser
4. Grater
5. Rotary Dryer
6. Disc or pin milling machine
7. Sealer

The design should ensure that all parts of the equipment are accessible for efficient
cleaning. Materials used to fabricate equipment should maintain a surface that is
easily cleaned. The equipment should be located to allow adequate maintenance and
cleaning and should provide easy and convenient handling of raw material and
products.

Operators must consider the occupational safety of processing staff and prevent
chemical, physical, and microbiological contamination of cassava and its products.
The equipment should function according to intended use.

What is Fufu Flour [Fufu Powder]? Fufu flour is to Western and Central Africa
cooking what instant mash potatoes are to traditional European-American cooking. Fufu
flour is used to make fufu meal; a smooth and thick dumpling-like meal. Fufu flour-like
staples are traditional foods all over Sub-Saharan Africa: i.e., Eastern Africa's fufu flour
or Ugali flour and Southern Africa's fufu flour or Sadza flour (which are usually made
from ground corn (maize). Fufu is a main dish accompaniment for soups, stews or other
dishes with sauce. To eat fufu: use your right hand to tear off a bite-sized piece of the
fufu, shape it into a ball, dip into soup or stew or sauce, or whatever you're eating. In
Western Africa, Fufu flour is usually made from plantain or yams or cocoyam, sometimes
combined with cassava. In Ghana Fufu or Fufu flour generally refers to Plantain fufu or
Plantain fufu flour respectively.In Central Africa, Fufu flour is often made from cassava
tubers. Other Fufu flour-like foods, Liberia's dumboy flour for example, are made from
cassava flour. Fufu flour can also be made from semolina or rice combined with flour
from tubers. Making Fufu from fufu flour involves boiling, and vigorous stirring until the
fufu flour- water mixture is thick and smooth.
