Yam bean (Pachyrhizus spp) is a robust legume crop native to South and Central America. The yam bean is mainly grown for its root tubers which are used as food. The yam bean seeds contain high amount of proteins and oil but are not consumed because they contain the toxic compound, rotenone. The aim of this study was to determine the physicochemical...

Yam bean (Pachyrhizus spp.) is legume crop that not only produces edible roots but also has a
high yield of unutilized seeds. Although the yam bean seeds are rich in protein, they are not used
due to a high content of toxic rotenone. In this study, yam bean seeds were detoxified and the
nutritional and functional properties of their protein determi...
This study sought to determine the physicochemical and functional properties of yam bean (Pachyrhizus erosus) seed proteins. Pachyrhizus erosus seeds from two accessions (UYB 06 and UYB 07) were milled into flours and then defatted. A portion of the defatted flour was used for production of protein isolates and protein fractions. The physicochemica...
