A standardized textural test was developed for characterizing the banana pulp softening process during boiling. While a correlation was established between initial dry matter content and firmness, we observed large differences in cooking behavior between varieties and genotypes, with various soft...

Past research developed reliable equations to base selections for high β-carotene on near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) predictions (100 genotypes d−1) rather than with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (<10 samples d−1). During recent harvest, CIAT made selections based on NIR predicti...

High-throughput phenotyping and improvements in breeding cassava for increased carotenoids in the roots
Mapuey tubers in Venezuela are staple food for indigenous peoples from the Caribbean coast and Amazon regions. Noticeable differences between genotypes of yam starches were observed. Granules were large, triangular, or shell-shaped with monomodal particle size distribution between 24.5 and 35.5...

Resumen: La yuca ¨Waxy¨, variedad AM 206-5, libre de amilosa, fue reportada en 2006 en el proyecto de mejoramiento de yuca del CIAT, que busca desarrollar genotipos con características especiales en el almidón presente en sus raíces. Los almidones libre de amilosa tienen diferentes propiedades f...

One of the objectives of the cassava-breeding project at CIAT is the identification of clones with special root quality characteristics. A large number of self-pollinations have been made in search of useful recessive traits. During 2006 harvests an S1 plant produced roots that stained brownish-r...
