Raw and processed tubers from eight genotypes of yellow yam (Dioscorea cayenensis) were evaluated for their contents of iron, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, total carotenoids, vitamin C, phytic acid and tannin. The mean values obtained (in mg/kg on dry weight basis) were 7.2 for iron, 9.2 for zinc, 1...

Effects of two processing methods on some nutrients and antinutritional factors in yellow yam (Dioscorea cayenensis)
Eight genotypes of yellow yam (Dioscorea cayenensis) were planted at locations in two major yam-growing agroecologies of Nigeria (Onne in the
humid forest zone and Ibadan in the forest/savannah transition zone) for assessment of the contents of minerals and antinutrients. Significant
differences ...

The nutritional benefits of grain legumes such as cowpea and soybean in sub-Saharan Africa have not been fully utilized to alleviate problem of protein-malnutrition in this region. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the nutritional properties and sensory evaluation of snack food made from h...
