Genetic and environmental effects on processing productivity and food product yield: drudgery of women's work.

A varietal effect was observed on yield, product quality, processing productivity, and potential drudgery levels. Although some breeders' germplasm combined increased yields and good food product quality, those with low processor productivity should be avoided during selection. Further research is recommended to enhance color, latent culinary qualities, and processing productivity of improved varieties to improve acceptability and reduce processing drudgery for women.
