Conteúdo: | Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is planted and consumed, in different forms, in practically all Brazilian states (6). This important culture has not yet been sufficiently studied with regard to its genetical improvement, and it is generally assumed that more research is digestible carbohydrates (3). there are the pertinent literature various citations about the  toxicity of cassava in different countries where it is grown, and with the possible exception of HCN, very little is known  about the metabolismo of the intoxication by cassava products in humans and farm animals (2,4,6). In fact the high volatility and toxicity of the hydrocyanic acid (HCN) per se justifies the elevated degree of poisoning accidents registered throughout the world by cassava leavesand roots when ingested without previous treatment.
