This study evaluated the effect of autoclaving process on the production of resistant starch (RS) from cassava starch. RS was prepared by debranching, autoclaving and storage of cassava starch from two Nigeria varieties (TMS 30572 and TMS 98/0581). Starch suspensions were prepared with different ...

Whole small tubers and setts from 15 genotypes of white yam (Dioscorea rotundata) at their post-dormant stage were planted at the beginning of the rainy season in 2003 and 2004. Harvesting was done at monthly intervals from three months after vine emergence (MAVE) till when there was senescence o...
