Yam tubers of Dioscorea alata (Umudike cultivar), D. rotundata (asukwu and obiaturugo cultivars)" and D. cayenensis (water yam and Nkokpu cultivars) were obtained from the National Root Crops Research Institute, Umudike, Nigeria. Some tubers were stored 6 or 12 months at room temperature (25-27 °C), some in vacuum dessicators over a suitable dessicant, and some in paper bags placed in a dark cabinet (absence of circulating air). Fresh tubers were peeled by carefully scraping away the cork layer to minimize loss of outer tissue since much of the protein is concentrated here ( ). They were then cut into 2 cu. cm. pieces, quickly frozen with solid CO2 in 50 9 portions in plastic bags, and stored in a freezer until needed.
