Notes
The first tests for producing corn flour at the industrial level in Senegal have been completed. The initial 300 kg of macaroni made with a 50/50 or 70/30 blend of wheat and corn flour were considered quite acceptable. Taste and marketing trials are now being prepared by the Food Technology Institute (ITA) in Dakar in order to judge consumer acceptance. These tests are the outcome of several years of work in this field by the INRA/IRAT Cereals Technology Laboratory in
Montpellier. It helped to determine the best blends of corn and wheat to be used as well as the processing needed to obtain a flour that would satisfy both technical and taste considerations.
