Evaluation Of Proximate Composition And Amino Acid Profile Of Selected Accessions Of African Yam Bean (Sphenostylis Stenocarpa) From IITA.:- Ikegbusi Ifunanya C
ABSTRACT
The proximate composition and amino acid
profiles of selected accessions of African Yam Bean (AYB) were investigated to
compare the differences in the properties determined. The accessions were TSS
111, TSS 60, TSS 309, TSS 51 andTSS46. The result ofthe proximate analysis
shows that TSS 309 had significantly higher protein (29.5%), fat (4.45%), crude
fiber (3.33%) and ash (4.15%). TSS 60 had significantly higher moisture content
and carbohydrate. Results from the amino acid composition shows the,selected
accessions of African yam bean (AYB) contained sufficient amount ofamino acids
with TSS 111 recording the lowest values for most ofthe amino acids. The highest
amino acid content was observed in glutamic acid in all the samples. The
glutamic acid content of the accessions were 11.28, 12.57, 12.66, 11.73 and
12.34 forTSS 111,TSS 60, TSS 309, TSS 51 andTSS 46 respectively.
