Comparative study on total polysaccharide content of fresh cut yam tablets and traditional cut yam slices
Objective To explore the effects of fresh cutting technology and traditional cutting method on the quality of Chinese yam slices,and to provide reference for the production and clinical application of Chinese yam slices.Methods The content of 18 batches of yam tablets produced by fresh processing and 4 batches of yam samples produced by traditional processing were analyzed.Results The content of polysaccharide in 18 batches of freshly cut yam tablets was(45.76±6.15)%,and that in 4 batches of traditional cut yam tablets was(64.53±6.00)%.Conclusion The polysaccharide content of traditional Chinese yam slices was significantly higher than that of fresh Chinese yam slices.
