NIRS Database on Dried Grounded Cassava Flour for Ash Protein at IITA, Nigeria

The cassava flour database consists of 260 spectra data collected using the benchtop FOSS Near Infrared Spectrometer (NIRS) with serial number 3013-0857. The spectra comprise 130 cassava flour scanned in duplicate. The Spectra data were collected in IITA, Nigeria, in the year 2019/2020. The fresh roots were washed and dried with a paper towel to remove dirt and cut longitudinally into four sections. The two adjacent sections were pulled and cut into small chips, and then the chips were dried in the Oven at 600C for 72hrs. The dried chips were milled to flour. The spectra data were collected using the developed SOP by the RTBfoods project.
