Analysis of antioxidant activity in different part of wild yam (Dioscorea hispida dennst)

Dioscorea hispida dennst can be category as yam and as staple food in the subtropical and tropical regions of the world. Several species of yam tubers have been shown to contain significant amounts of phenolic compounds. Hence these tubers could be a good source of nutritional antioxidants. Antioxid...
