The amylose and amylopectin content, obtained in this current work, for the aerial yam flour are similar to that earlier reported [11] for Dioscorea rotundata (Pona), but other varieties in the same work such as ‘Asobayere’, ‘Labreko’, and ‘Muchumudu’ had amylose and amylopectin composition different from the aerial yam flour.
The amylose/amylopectin ratio obtained in this work for aerial yam flour was lower than that reported for two varieties of Dioscorea bulbifera.
