Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The purpose of this study was to identify village and home level technologies which could save time and effort of women in developing countries in the processing and preparation of food for home consumption. A further purpose was to give some suggestions as to where and how the technologies might be introduced. A total of seventeen technologies are described. The description of each technology also includes a summary of the traditional task which the technology has the potential to alleviate and, where possible, an estimate of the time the technology will save. Recommended technologies: Sorghum/Millet Processing--PRL Dehuller and Grinder; Maize Processing--Anguh Mill; Grain and Cassava Processing--Hydro-powered Hammer Mill; Maize Shelling--TPI Hand-held, Wooden Sheller; Cassava Processing--SIS Grater and Screw Press; Rice Processing--UMN Huller; Quinoa Processing--Thresher, Cleaner, and Polisher; Sunflower/Sesame Seed Oil Processing--Bielenberg Oil Press; Groundnut Shelling; Palm Oil Processing--Caltech Expeller; Shea Nut Butter Processing--CEPAZE Extraction Unit; Fish Processing--USDA/VPI Smokehouse with Detached Fire Box; Improved Three-Stone Hearth; Jiko Cookstove; LESO Cookstove; Solar Box Cooker; and Technique to Overcome Hard to Cook Phenomena in Beans.
