Wild Yam (Dioscorea dumetorum) was collected during the wet as well as dry season in the bush of Zimbabwe. Starch from its tubers was isolated in behavioral conditions and properties were determined such as size of granules, content of water, amylose, phosphorus, proteins and lipids, characteristics of gelation of its gels and thermal properties (TG, DTG, DTA).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
