Cooktown, Australia. 2005 Yam is an essential staple crop in Ghana, sub-Saharan Africa and some tropical regions of the world. It contains about 70–80% moisture, 16–24% starch and, trace quantities of proteins and lipids (Liu et al., Citation2006) as well as vitamin, minerals, and, dietary fibre (Baah et al., Citation2009). Like other root and tuber crops, yams are subjected to physiological deterioration after harvest (Kiaya, Citation2014) due to the high moisture content which makes them more susceptible to microbial proliferation. According to Otoo ( Citation2017), breeding activities ensure that new yam varieties developed are able to solve future problems associated with yam production and consumption like improvement on food quality, pest and insect as well as drought-resistant varieties. Whilst breeders do this, the processors desire to further enhance shelf life and marketability by transforming yam into flours and starches. Earlier works by Otegbayo et al. ( Citation2014) have established that apart from using yams as staple food source, there is high utilization of yam starches and flours in the Sub-Saharan Africa. Rees, D.; Farell, G. & Orchard, J.

For amylose, CRI D. alata varieties, afase biri, soanyinto and ahodenfo with 20.79%, 20.94% and 19.57% respectively had no significant differences at p < 0.05 among them. These values were higher than the local D. alata varieties. CRI D. rotundata, pona and mankrong pona had same amylose content of approximately 17% ( Table 1). Amylose content of many yam species have been quantified to range from 1.4% to 50% (Pérez et al., Citation2011) while varieties specific to Ghana have 9.22–21.66% (Afoakwa et al., Citation2013). The results from the study are in the range of the reported values since the maximum value was 20.94%. CRI D. alata varieties ( ahodenfo, soanyinto and afase biri) had slightly higher amylose than local varieties. Although Otegbayo et al. ( Citation2012) reported significantly higher amylose content for D. alata varieties compared to D. rotundata, the findings of this study is different as some D. rotundata varieties had higher values than D. alata varieties ( Table 1). These variations in amylose content could be linked to the botanical source, climatic conditions and soil type during growth (Okunlola & Odeku, Citation2011).
