Souleymane Bado, Patrice Bazongo, Gouyahali Son, Moe Thida Kyaw, Brian Peter Forster, Stephan Nielen, Anne Mette Lykke, Amadé Ouédraogo, and Imaël Henri Nestor Bassolé
Tuber characteristics and nutrient composition of three morphotypes of Cyperus esculentus tubers and tuber oils were determined. The mean value for length and width of the tuber and one thousand dried tuber weight sranged from 0.98 to1.31cm,0.90 to1.19cm, and 598 to 1044g, respectively. Tubers displayed high level of starch (30.54–33.21g100g−1(...)
