Greater Yams
Dioscorea alata
Dioscorea alata，又称大山药，起源于东南亚和非洲的传统医学实践。它因其营养价值而被传统上使用，但在这些传统中没有具体的文献记录用途。科学证据表明，光周期调节可以有效地诱导不同基因型的D. alata开花，而激素治疗则可以提高块茎的质量而不促进开花。大山药中的淀粉含有高含量的直链淀粉（34.69%）和出色的技功能性质，使其适用于食品应用如增稠剂和凝胶剂。最近的研究表明，该植物表现出多种生物活性包括抗氧化、抗炎和抗糖尿病作用。预处理可以改善D. alata和D. rotundata块茎粉的物理化学、功能性、热学和流变学特性，尽管这两种品种之间存在差异。对于这种植物没有记录到主要的安全问题或药物相互作用。
