Because yams are stored in open systems at ambient temperatures (usually warm), tuber tissue was examined for proteinase activity at 40°C. Some tubers had high apparent polyphenol oxidase activity upon peeling of the tubers (tissue turned deep purple at the peeled surface) so that PYP was added to extracts to combine with polyphenolic compounds and protect the proteinase from reacting with these compounds. Earlier studies had shown some inhibition of alkaline proteinase activity by ferric ion (24) so that EDTA was also added to the extracts to chelate any free iron. Two alkaline pH optima were found, at 9.0 and 10.5. The alkaline proteinases of white potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) have pH optima between 8.6 and 9 (25) and those of Carilla chocola tubers have pH optima between 8.0 and 9.5 (26,27T, suggesting that alkaline...

Starch is one of the most abimdant plant polysaccharides and is a major source of carbohydrates and energy in the human diet (Zobel and Stephen, 1995). Starch is the most widely used hydrocolloid in the food industry (Wanous, 2004), and is also a widely used industrial substrate polymer. Total annual world production of starch is approximately 60 million MT and it is predicted to increase by additional approximately 10 million MT by 2010 (FAO, 2006b LMC International, 2002 S. K. Patil and Associates, 2007). Com/maize Zea mays L.), cassava (also known as tapioca—Manihot escu-lenta Crantn.), sweet potato Ipomoea batatas L.), wheat Triticum aestivum L.), and potato Solanum tuberosum L.) are the major sources of starch, while rice Oryza sativa L.), barley Hordeum vulgare L.), sago Cycas spp.), arrowroot Tacca leontopetaloides (L.) Kimtze), buckwheat Fagopyrum esculentum Moench), etc. contribute in lesser amounts to total global production.

The fruit of a number of solanaceous plants, including tomato Lycopersicon esculentum), potato Solanum tuberosum) and eggplant Solarium melongena esculentum), have cholinesterase-inhibiting effects (Krasowski et al. 1997). They contain solanaceous glycoalkaloids o-solanine and o-chaconine, which are triglycosides of solanidine, a steroidal alkaloid derived from cholesterol. They are the only plant chemicals known to inhibit both acetlycholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase, both in vitro and in vivo.

Alkaloids are active bioagents in animal tissues. There is clear scientific evidence of this. Crawford and Kocan" " have tested the toxicity of steroidal alkaloids from the potato Solanum tuberosum), such as a-chaconine, a-solanine, solanidine and solasodine, and Veratrum alkaloid, jervine on fish. The results of Crawford and Kocan s research proved that rainbow trout exhibited a toxic response to chaconine, solasidine and solanine, while medaka only did so to chaconine and solanine. Embryo mortality was observed as an effect of toxicity in both species. Many other alkaloids are known to disturb or cause disorder in animal reproductive systems. For example, gossypol from cotton-seed oil is known as a clear reducer of spermatogenesis and premature abortion of the embryo.
