Abstract: Starch samples from the wild species of cocoyam (Caladium bicolor (Aiton) Vent.) and three leaf yam (Dioscorea dumentorum (Kunth) Pax.) found abundantly in the south and eastern regions of Nigeria, were characterized for their physicochemical, functional and antinutrient properties. C. bicolor had higher amylose (17.68%), carbohydrate (83.57%) and ash (2.85%) than D. dumentorum. Moisture, crude lipid, protein and fibre ranged between 7.56 to 10.29%, 0.12 to 0.15%, 0.11 to 0.13%, and 2.85 to 3.39%, respectively… Show more

“…This is further confirmed by the findings of Jiang et al [24], who characterised starches extracted from five species of Dioscorea L. Values of starch acetylation, water binding capacity, and solubility all rise in tandem with acetic acid concentration. Uwem and Ita [25], who studied the physicochemical, functional, and antinutritional aspects of Dioscorea dumentorum starches, came to similar conclusions. Variation in the amount of water-binding surface available within the granule may account for the observed range in staches' water binding capacities [12].…”
