Physicochemical study of yam starch / Rohani Embong
The purpose of this study is to extract starch from yam (genus Dioscorea) and to characterize the physicochemical properties of pink and white yam tuber and its starch. The pink yam gave starch yield of 18.15% and white yam gave yield of 15.60%. Proximate composition studies showed that pink yam tub...

The pink yam gave starch yield of 18.15% and white yam gave yield of 15.60%. Proximate composition studies showed that pink yam tuber contain 74.80% moisture content, 2.40% protein, 1.28% fiber, 0. 78% ash and 0.05% fat. White yam tuber contain 69.40% moisture content, 1.45% protein, 1.26% crude fiber, 0.67% ash and 0.07% fat.
