چکیده
The data presented in this article are related to research article titled "Effects of processing methods on nutrient and antinutrient composition of yellow yam (Dioscorea cayenensis) products" (Adepoju et al., 2016) [1]. This article documented information on nutrient and antinutrient composition as well as nutrient retention of Dioscorea cayenensis products. Fresh Dioscorea cayenensis tubers obtained from Bodija market were prepared into raw sample and local delicacies and analysed for proximate, mineral, vitamin and antinutrient composition using AOAC methods [2]. Data obtained were analysed using ANOVA, and level of significance set at p<0.05. Processing significantly improved macronutrients and energy content of yam products, and led to significant reduction in values of all antinutrient content of the products (p<0.05).

Influence of harvesting time on the phenolic composition, antioxidant activities and anti-cholinesterase potential of processed yellow yam (Dioscorea cayenensis)
The present study seeks to evaluate the influence of the time of harvest on the phenolic composition, antioxidant activities and anti-cholinesterase action of processed yellow yam (Dioscorea cayenensis). HPLC-DAD analysis of the processed yellow yam revealed the presence of some phenolic acids and flavonoids. The result showed a higher amount of most of the identified phenolic compounds in the ...
متن کاملHigh-Quality Draft Whole-Genome Sequences of Three Strains of Enterobacter Isolated from Jamaican Dioscorea cayenensis (Yellow Yam)
Here we report the whole-genome sequences of three endophytic bacteria, Enterobacter sp. strain DC1, Enterobacter sp. strain DC3, and Enterobacter sp. strain DC4, from root tubers of the yellow yam plant, Dioscorea cayenensis. Preliminary analyses suggest that the genomes of the three bacteria contain genes involved in acetoin and indole-3-acetic acid metabolism.
متن کاملComparative Evaluation of Physico-chemical Characteristics of Flours from Steeped Tubers of White Yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir), Water Yam (Dioscorea alata L.) and Yellow Yam (Dioscorea cayenensis Lam)
The study examined Yam Tuber Species (YTS), Tuber Steeping Duration (TSD) and Flour Particle Size (FPS) as factors of flour. Data were collected using white yam, water yam and yellow yam steeped in water (30 ± 2 °C, pH 6.78) and withdrawn, and the flour classified, and analyzed for each parameter. Results obtained showed that all the test parameters, Water Retention Capacity (WRC), Swelling Ind...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of microsatellites for the yam Dioscorea cayenensis (Dioscoreaceae) and cross-amplification in D. rotundata.
Dioscorea cayenensis and Dioscorea rotundata are among the most important yam species for the humid and sub-humid tropics. We isolated nine polymorphic microsatellite markers using a microsatellite-enriched genomic library technique. The nine primer pairs were validated in 22 D. cayenensis accessions, and were tested for transferability in 26 D. rotundata accessions. The number of bands ranged ...
متن کاملStudies on Temperature Influence on Oviposition and Development of Immature Stages of the Yam Beetle Dinoderus Porcellus Lesne. Coleoptera: Bostrichidae on Dried Yam Species
Teneral adults of Dinoderus porcellus were raised in the laboratory and exposed to various temperature regimes 10, 15 20, 30, 35 and 40 C respectively. Four dried yam species Dioscorea rotundata, Dioscorea alata, Dioscorea dumetorum and Dioscorea cayenensis were used, to determine the effect of temperature on oviposition and developmental stages of the insect. At 10C, there was no oviposition, ...
