Abstract

Physiochemical analysis of ready-to-eat commercial fufu sold in Benin City, Nigeria was carried out. Samples of ready-to-eat fufu were purchased from the five different markets (Uselu, Oba, Aduwawa, New Benin and Santana). The samples were immediately taken to the laboratory for physiochemical analyses...
