Abstrakt: The solid-state fermentation of cassava (Mannlhot esculenta Crantz) was characterized by determining pH and biological oxygen demand (BOD). The results showed a strong association (?=0.73) between pH of the fermenting slurry and that of the waste llquor. BOD of the liquor decreased as fermentation progressed. After 96 h fermentation, BOD was about 6×102 mg/l. Progress of cassava fermentation can probably be determined indirectly by following the changes in the pH and BOD profiles of the liquor.
