pH Value: 5.5–6.5
Particle Size: 0.5–3mm
WestAfrica Workflow-Traditional Gari Fryer Process
- Raw Material Prep: Cleaning → Peeling → Slicing (5–8mm).
- Fermentation: Open trough (12–24h, pH 4.0–4.5).
- Dehydration: Screw press (moisture ≤40%).
- Pan-Frying: Inclined cast-iron drum (180–220°C, 15–20min) for caramelization.
- Packaging: Manual bagging (no vacuum).
Advantages:
- Flavor: Intense caramelized aroma (Maillard reaction).
- Low CAPEX: ~$100K for small-scale units.
- Flexibility: Batch processing suits smallholders.
Challenges:
- Energy Intensive: Gas consumption (~15kg/ton).
- Inconsistent Quality: Manual handling risks HC N variability (>100mg/kg risk).
Market Fit:
- Best for local West African markets preferring traditional taste.
Europe Workflow-Roller Industrial Process
- Raw Material Prep: Cleaning → Peeling → Slicing (5–8mm).
- Fermentation: Anaerobic tank (24–48h, pH 4.0–4.5) for HCN detoxification.
- Dehydration: Screw press (moisture ≤50%) → Roller mill (steam-heated plates at 100–120°C).
- Drying: Continuous Belt dryer (50–60°C, moisture ≤12%).
- Packaging: Vacuum-sealed moisture-proof bags.
Advantages:
- Consistency: Standardized moisture (10–12%), HCN <100mg/kg.
- Scalability: 5–8 tons/day with PLC automation.
- Energy Efficiency: Heat pump drying reduces energy use by 30%.
Challenges:
- High CAPEX (~$100K).
- Requires skilled operators for steam parameter control.
Market Fit:
- Ideal for export markets (EU, Asia) requiring food-grade compliance (e.g., EC No 1881/2006).
