“…'Da Costa' yam showed the higher content of lipids and the lowest content was verified in 'Iambu' species (Table 2). The values for lipid contents observed in the present study are similar to those observed by [7], while studying the composition of nutrients in D. bulbifera with a lipid contents varying from 0.11 to 0.3. The majority of tubers showed low contents of ashes, lipids and proteins; and predominance of high values for total carbohydrates' contents in the form of starch, therefore, being considered energetic foods [5].…”

Yam is a crop with economic and social significance for the Brazilian Northeastern region. The objective of the present work was to analyze the physicochemical characters of six yam species in order to verify variations in chemical composition within the species (inter and intra-species) germplasm. The experimental was performed under a completely randomized design with six treatments and three replicates. Contents of lipids, humidity, ashes, proteins, starch, reducing sugars and the content of total sugars were evaluated. Regarding physical measures, weight of tubers with peel (kg) and weight of tubers without peel (g), tuber length (cm), longitudinal and transversal diameter (cm), longitudinal and transversal thickness (cm) were determined. The results were submitted to analysis of variance (ANOVA), F test and means were compared by the Tukey test (p<0.05) using the statistical software R. High significant statistical difference (p<0.05) was observed for all physicochemical characteristics analyzed. Yam species designated as 'Jiboia' showed the highest tuber weight (76.96), higher pulp weight (76.26), higher tuber length (74.76) and higher longitudinal diameter (67.76). The species Dioscorea rotundata was also prominent showing higher contents of ashes (1.40), starch (85.20), lipids (1.23) and protein (2.14) and the species D. trifida showed the lowest contents of lipids (0.59), protein (1.07) and reducing sugars (1.06). Results in the present study evidenced inter-specific and intra-specific variations in chemical composition of yam germplams.

“…As with other nutrients, calcium content in yam varies with yam species and/or variety. So far, available studies revealed that D. bulbifera has a higher calcium content of up to 1410 mg/100 g ( Table 2 ) [ 66 ]. It is important to note that metabolism of calcium involves other nutrients such as amino acids and vitamin D, as well as phosphorus.…”

The quest for a food secure and safe world has led to continuous effort toward improvements of global food and health systems. While the developed countries seem to have these systems stabilized, some parts of the world still face enormous challenges. Yam (Dioscorea species) is an orphan crop, widely distributed globally; and has contributed enormously to food security especially in sub-Saharan Africa because of its role in providing nutritional benefits and income. Additionally, yam has non-nutritional components called bioactive compounds, which offer numerous health benefits ranging from prevention to treatment of degenerative diseases. Pharmaceutical application of diosgenin and dioscorin, among other compounds isolated from yam, has shown more prospects recently. Despite the benefits embedded in yam, reports on the nutritional and therapeutic potentials of yam have been fragmented and the diversity within the genus has led to much confusion. An overview of the nutritional and health importance of yam will harness the crop to meet its potential towards combating hunger and malnutrition, while improving global health. This review makes a conscious attempt to provide an overview regarding the nutritional, bioactive compositions and therapeutic potentials of yam diversity. Insights on how to increase its utilization for a greater impact are elucidated.
