Abstract:Background and Objective: Tubers of African yam bean [Sphenostylis stenocarpa (Hochst. ex A. Richmond) Harms], family Fabaceae, are under-exploited, especially in West Africa by humans. The tuber holds varying quantitative bioactive properties. The present study seeks to unveil inherent flavonoid compounds in different accessions of African yam bean (AYB) tubers. Materials and Methods: Fresh tubers were obtained from 17 accessions of AYB. The same was dried and flour samples were prepared. Flour samples from t… Show more
