Abstract EN
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 weights ranged from 0.98 to 1.31 cm, 0.90 to 1.19 cm, and 598 to 1044 g, respectively.
Tubers displayed high level of starch (30.54–33.21 g 100 g−1), lipid (24.91–28.94 g 100 g−1), and sucrose (17.98–20.39 g 100 g−1).
The yellow tubers had significantly higher content in lipid compared to black ones.
Levels of ascorbic acid, tocopherol, and β-carotene of the three morphotypes differed significantly.
Yellow ones (morphotypes 1 and 2) were the richest in tocopherol and the poorest in β-carotene.
Saturated fatty acid content of morphotype 2 was significantly lower than that of morphotypes 1 and 3.
Morphotype 3 had the significantly lowest PUFA content compared to morphotypes 1 and 2.
Morphotype 1 was found to be richer in Ca, Cu, and Mn contents.
Al, Mg, P, S, and Si were most abundant in morphotype 2.
Morphotype 3 had the highest content of Cl, K, and Zn.
