Functional properties of a promissory Dioscorea trifida waxy starch for food innovation [PDF]

, 2010
Starches with low amylose contents generally exhibit good gel clarity, high swelling power and RVA peak viscosity, large breakdown, and high resistance to retrogradation during gel storage, as compared to some other starches with higher amylose contents. The demand of the food processing industry for new low amylose or even waxy starchy ingredients for

Uncovering the genetic diversity of yams (Dioscorea spp.) in China by combining phenotypic trait and molecular marker analyses. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2021
Representative yam resources from five species were collected in 21 provinces in China. The genetic diversity of 112 yam accessions in China was evaluated roundly by combining phenotypic traits, SSR, and SRAP markers. Genetic difference between yam resources in China was identified roughly, and Dioscorea opposita probably originated from China ...

Profiling Anthocyanins in Thai Purple Yams (Dioscorea alata L.). [PDF]

Int J Food Sci, 2020
Two accessions of Thai purple yam (Dioscorea alata) were investigated for their chemical constituents during tuber development when the vines were 3 to 8 months old. Yam tubers contained total phenolic compounds ranging between 100 and 385 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE), flavonoids 60–160 mg catechin equivalent (CE), monomeric anthocyanin of 10–90 mg ...
