Comparative Study of the Physicochemical, Functional, Thermal, and Rheological Properties of Pretreated Flours From Dioscorea alata and Dioscorea rotundata

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Pretreatments help improve flour quality. The increase in solubility and dispersibility is greater in D. rotundata. D. alata flours are more resistant to shear than D. rotundata flours. All flours degrade after 200°C. D. alata flours are more elastic while D. rotundata flours are more viscous.

Genetic Variability of Water Yam (Dioscorea alata L.) Tubers From Côte d’Ivoire Based on Agromorphological and Culinary Traits

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Assessment of the genetic diversity within existing germplasm is essential for the sustainable management of plant genetic resources, and the development of improved cultivars. Dioscorea alata is considered as one of the most widespread root and tuber crop species in tropical regions, and significantly contributes to enhancing the income of small‐scale

A Sequence-Independent Strategy for Amplification and Characterisation of Episomal Badnavirus Sequences Reveals Three Previously Uncharacterised Yam Badnaviruses

Viruses, 2016
Yam (Dioscorea spp.) plants are potentially hosts to a diverse range of badnavirus species (genus Badnavirus, family Caulimoviridae), but their detection is complicated by the existence of integrated badnavirus sequences in some yam genomes.

Study of the Physicochemical, Thermal, and Rheological Properties of Pretreated Yellow Yam (Dioscorea cayenensis) Flours

International Journal of Food Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The yellow yam (Dioscorea cayenensis) is a tuber that has local importance and some agroindustrial potential, but it is still limited because there are few studies that characterize it well. This research was aimed at evaluating the effect of combined pretreatments (immersion in 1.5% citric acid for 10 min, blanching at 50°C for 3 min, and soaking in ...

Effect of yam (Dioscorea spp.) starch on the physicochemical, rheological, and sensory properties of yogurt

Heliyon, 2021
This study investigated the effect of the addition of starch from “hawthorn” yam (Dioscorea rotundata) and “creole” yam (Dioscorea alata) at different concentrations (0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.5% w/w) on the physicochemical and sensory properties of stirred-type

Responses of antioxidant potentials in Dioscorea rotundata Poir. following paclobutrazol drenching

Comptes Rendus. Biologies, 2007
The effect of paclobutrazol (PBZ) treatments on the antioxidant metabolism of white yam ( Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) was investigated in the present study. PBZ @ 15 mg l −1  plant −1 was given to plants by soil ...

Effects of Inorganic Fertilizer Application on the Quality and Sensory Attributes of White Yam (Dioscorea rotundata) Varieties

International Journal of Food Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Dioscorea rotundata yam is an economically important staple food and constitutes a significant proportion of the essential carbohydrate requirements of the people in West Africa. Over the years, the tuber crop has witnessed a significant increase in production, partly due to the application of inorganic fertilizer.

Optimum time for hand pollination in yam (Dioscorea spp.).

PLoS ONE, 2022
Hand pollination success rate is low in yam (Dioscorea spp.), due partly to suboptimal weather conditions. Thus, determining the most suitable time for pollination could improve the pollination success in yam breeding programs.
