متن کاملEffect of cooking on the mineral and antinutrient contents of the leaves of seven accessions of Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott growing in South Africa
Abstract The effect of cooking on the mineral and antinutrient contents of the leaves of seven accessions (UFCe1 UFCe7) of Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott growing in South Africa was investigated. Cooking significantly reduced the phosphorus, potassium and zinc contents. After cooking, calcium, magnesium, sodium and copper levels were not significantly different in almost all the accessions tes...
