PROXIMATE COMPOSITION OF REGIONS OF Dioscorea bulbifera (L.) and Dioscorea rotundata (L.) TUBER DURING STORAGE

open access: yesInternational Journal of Agricultural and Veterinary Science
There has been so much speculations about the nutritional quality of yams at different stages of storage. Sometimes tubers at post sprouting stages are crudely rejected for food without scientific evidence. This study was therefore designed to ascertain the proximate composition of two species of yam; Dioscorea bulbifera L.
