Glycemic Index Of Different Cocoyam Cultivars Subjected To Different Processing Methods.
ABSTRACT
The glycemic index of the cocoyam
cultivars were determined using 100% Glucose D as the control and human
subjects for 2 hours feeding trials. The glycemic index ranging from 95.3 to
142.0 Roasted pink cocoyam. 15.5 to 41.4 Roasted coco-India, 71.9 to 121.4
Fried pink cocoyam, 55.6 to 85.4 Fried coco-India, 23.6 to 92.7 Fried white
cocoyam, 49.4 to 115.8 Roasted white cocoyam, 73.8 to 90.3 Boiled pink cocoyam,
32.7 to 78.6 Boiled white cocoyam, 19.1 o 52.5 Boiled coco-India. Roasted pink
cocoyam has the highest glycemic index, while Roasted coco-India has the
lowest. Flour samples were produced from three cocoyam cultivars namely; White
cocoyam, Pink cocoyam and Coco-India and were evaluated for proximate
compositions. The flour samples had proximate compositions ranging from 10.03%
to 11.79% moisture, 2.48% to 3.51% ash, 4.08% to 5.07% fat, 1.14% to 1.25%
fibre, 7.23% to 8.31% protein, 72.42% to73.15% carbohydrates and 88.2 1% to
89.98% dry matter
