An Efficient In Vitro Propagation Protocol of Cocoyam [Xanthosoma sagittifolium (L) Schott]
Sprouted corm sections of "South Dade" white cocoyam were potted and maintained in a greenhouse for 8 weeks. Shoot tips of 3-5 mm comprising the apical meristem with 4-6 leaf primordial, and approximately 0.5 mm of corm tissue at the base. These explants were treated to be used into the culture medium. A modified Gamborg's B5 mineral salts supplemented with 0.05 μM 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA...
متن کاملPhysicochemical properties of food grade acetylated cocoyam (Xanthosoma sagittifolium) starches
Starch was isolated from cocoyam (Xanthosoma sagittifolium). It was further modified by acetylation using NaOH and NaHCO3 at room temperature (28±3 oC). The pasting and physicochemical properties of the native and modified starches were then studied. Pasting properties of the alkaline modified cocoyam starches showed higher peak viscosities (245.92-256.96 RVU) compared to low peak viscosity (21...
متن کاملEffect of cooking on the mineral and antinutrient contents of the leaves of seven accessions of Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott growing in South Africa
Abstract The effect of cooking on the mineral and antinutrient contents of the leaves of seven accessions (UFCe1 UFCe7) of Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott growing in South Africa was investigated. Cooking significantly reduced the phosphorus, potassium and zinc contents. After cooking, calcium, magnesium, sodium and copper levels were not significantly different in almost all the accessions tes...
متن کاملProximate, mineral, and antinutrient compositions of indigenous Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) pod accessions: implications for mineral bioavailability
The promotion and consumption of indigenous vegetables could help to mitigate food insecurity and alleviate malnutrition in developing countries. Nutrient and antinutrient compositions of eight accessions of Okra Pods were investigated. Molar ratios and mineral bioavailability of Okra pod accessions were also calculated and compared to the critical values to predict the implications for mineral...
متن کاملIn Vitro Antileukemic Activity of Xanthosoma sagittifolium (Taioba) Leaf Extract
Xanthosoma sagittifolium Schott is a herb of the Araceae family, popularly known as taioba, which is consumed as food in some regions of Brazil, Africa, and Asia. This species has already been evaluated for the antifungal activities. However, based on its potential antitumor activity, the present study further aimed to examine the antitumor, as well as chelation, activity of X. sagittifolium le...
