Proton-induced X-ray emission analysis of the Chinese yam

International Journal of PIXE, 2020
The Chinese yam is a major component of the Japanese diet consumed in raw and cooked form. It is important to determine the nutrient contents of yam, which contains high potassium levels; a simple measurement method is required. We performed proton-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis of fully grown and immature yams. Analysis of the yam trunk, skin,

Chinese yam (Dioscorea opposita Thunb.) starch-ferulic acid complexes: Preparation, characterization, and physicochemical properties.

Journal of Food Science
Polyphenols are known to interact with starch to form the V-type inclusion complex or the noninclusive complex. It is hypothesized that the addition of polyphenols could improve the properties of Chinese yam (Dioscorea opposita Thunb.) starch, and the ...

Mathematical Modeling of Microwave Vacuum Drying of Chinese Yam

2012 Dallas, Texas, July 29 - August 1, 2012, 2012
Microwave vacuum drying of Chinese yam (Dioscorea opposite) was carried out in order to develop a mathematical model. The thin-layer drying model of Dioscorea opposite was established from the experimental data by analyzing the relationship between moisture ratio and drying time.

Carboxymethyl Chinese yam starch: synthesis, characterization, and influence of reaction parameters

Carbohydrate Research, 2009
Carboxymethyl starch (CMS) was obtained as a product of the reaction of starch and monochloroacetic acid (MCA) in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The influence of the molar ratio of NaOH/AGU, the molar ratio of MCA/AGU, the reaction time, reaction temperature, and the water content on the degree of substitution (DS) was studied.

α-Glucosidase inhibitors from Chinese Yam (Dioscorea opposita Thunb.)

Food Chemistry, 2011
Abstract The inhibitory activities of crude extracts and purified constituents from the fresh tuberous rhizomes of Chinese Yam ( Dioscorea opposita Thunb.), which is commonly called Huai Shan Yao in Chinese, were evaluated against yeast α-glucosidase in order to search for the active principals for treatment of diabetes. Bioassay-guiding isolation
