In some tropical countries, people are suffering from both undernourishment and noncommunicable disorders, such as overweight/obesity. Starchy tropical fruits and tubers are of particular interest for their carbohydrate content and for the micronutrients they provide. The present study summarizes

[Nutritional characterization of carbohydrates and proximal composition of cooked tropical roots and tubers produced in Costa Rica].

Only registered users can translate articles

Tropical roots and tubers (TRT) are important staple foods in the tropics. TRT are produced by small farmers and have received only limited attention. The objective of this paper was to evaluate nutritionally important carbohydrate fractions and proximal composition of cooked cassava (Manihot

Carbohydrate metabolism in Dioscorea esculenta (Lour.) Burk. tubers and Curcuma longa L. rhizomes during two phases of dormancy.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have examined the changes in carbohydrate metabolism in food yam (Dioscorea esculenta (Lour.) Burk.) tubers and in an economically important spice cum medicinal plant turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) rhizomes under storage. Both specimens showed varied levels of dormancy and sprouting appeared at the

An association of asymptomatic hyperglycemia with dietary cyanogens and socio-economic level was ascertained in 2,000 volunteers in rural communities in South-East Nigeria. The staples of the poor consisted of one or two bulky carbohydrate meals (derivatives of different species of cocoyam, cassava,

Fatty acid composition of six varieties of dehulled African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa) flour.

Only registered users can translate articles

The proximate and fatty acids compositions of dehulled African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa, Hochst ex A. Rich. Harms) flour were reported. The crude protein values ranged from 20.18 +/- 0.02 to 25.78 +/- 0.05 g/100 g; the ether extract values ranged from 1.93 +/- 0.05 to 10.18 +/- 0.04 g/100

Determination of the chemical and functional properties of yam bean (Pachyrhizus erosus (L.) Urban) flour for food systems.

Only registered users can translate articles

Many plant species that are suitable for food across the world are neglected and underutilized. In order to increase their diversified food uses and thus help enhance food and nutrition security, we studied the chemical and functional properties of Pachyrhizus erosus (yam bean), which is a neglected

Functional properties of some varieties of African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa) flour--III.

Only registered users can translate articles

The proximate analysis, determination of nutritionally valuable minerals and the functional properties of the seed flour of African yam bean (AYB) (Sphenostylis stenocarpa) were investigated. Three different colour varieties of whole seeds and the dehulled samples from the same source were

Development of an owoh-type product from African yam beans (Sphenostylis stenocarpa) (Hoechst (ex. A. Rich.) Harms.) seeds by solid substrate fermentation.

Only registered users can translate articles

African yam beans were fermented to obtain an owoh-type product. Microorganisms associated with the fermentation were Bacillus licheniformis, B. pumilus, B. subtilis and Staphylococcus sp. Total microbial counts increased from 1.53 x 10(5) cfu/g to 1.51 x 10(9) cfu/g under aerobic conditions, and
