Variability in the chemical composition of yams grown in Cameroon

1984

We analyzed 98 cultivars belonging to eight yam species for mineral, protein, lipid, sugar, and cell wall constituents. For most of the nutrients, intraspecific variability was as high as interspecific variability, but significant differences in the average values per species were found between Dioscorea alata, D. dumetorum, and the D. cayenensis, D. rotundata complex.
