Nutritional assessment of yam (Dioscorea alata) tubers

Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, 1994
The nutrient and antinutrient components of tubers from seven cultivars of Dioscorea alata were determined. The average crude protein content of D. alata tubers was 7.4%. Starch (75.6-84.3%) was the predominant fraction of the tuber dry matter. Significant differences in crude protein and starch contents were observed among cultivars. Vitamin C content

Anthocyanins inDioscorea alata L.

Experientia, 1968
Trois arthocyanidines acylees ont ete extraits de tubercules d'une variete deDioscorea alata L. des Antilles. Tous 3 sont des glycosides de la cyanidine: le pigment principal est la cyanidine-3-gentiobioside acylee d'acide ferrulique; les 2 autres pigments secondaires sont semblables aux cyanidine-3-glycosides acylees d'acide ferrulique.

Two acylated anthocyanins from Dioscorea alata

Phytochemistry, 1990
Abstract Two new anthocyanins, cyanidin and peonidin 3-gentiobioside acylated with sinapic acid, have been isolated from the tuber of Dioscorea alata L. ‘King yam’ originated from Sri Lanka. These structures are elucidated by spectroscopic methods.

In Vitro Propagation of Dioscorea alata var. purpurae

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2012
Dioscorea alata var. purpurae (Indian purple yam) is an important source of diosgenin, a triterpenoid that is used as a raw material in the synthesis of corticosteroid hormones. These drugs are used for the treatment of pharmacological conditions such as arthritis. This paper reports in vitro propagation of explants of various parts of Dioscorea-tuber,

Antifungal properties of yam (Dioscorea alata) peel extract

Folia Microbiologica, 1996
The extraction of natural antifungal compounds from the peels of yam (Dioscorea alata) and the effect of these compounds on both the vegetative and reproductive structures of some yam not pathogens were studied. Four prominent antifungal components were obtained; one of the components was fully characterized and identified as beta-sitosterol.
