This study investigated pasting and sensory characteristics of Dioscorea?alata, an underutilized yam species, to ascertain its suitability for amala (a pasty yam product) in comparison with D.?rotundata. Pasting was determined by Rapid Visco-Analyser and the amala was prepared from parboiled and ...

Yam is the third most important root and tuber crop in the tropics but few species are grown as health food and/or for medicinal purposes. To ascertain the potential health benefits and alternate usage of the species, 20 varieties of Dioscorea alata (water yam) were investigated for their total d...

The study was carried out to establish the proportions of cassava and sweetpotato flours that would produce good quality pasta, in composite with wheat flour. Up to 50% sweetpotato and cassava flour substitutions were made. Two varieties each of cassava (Abasafitaa and Afisiafi) and sweetpotato (...

The potential use of selected genotypes of sweetpotato for fries was evaluated. Moisture, fat, browning index, and beta-carotene content of fries from 10 sweetpotato genotypes, Apomuden, Bohye, Nanungungu, Otoo, CIP442162, Patron, CIP440390, Obare, Dadanyuie, and Tu-Purple, were determined by sta...
