  1. *Values are mean ± standard deviation. Values in a column with the same superscript are not significantly (p > 0.05) different from each other. W100A0 = 100% wheat flour (control sample); W70AD30 = 70% wheat flour + 30% dehydrated aerial yam flour; W60AD40 = 60% wheat flour + 40% dehydrated aerial yam flour; W50AD50 = 50% wheat flour + 50% aerial yam flour; W70AS30 = 70% wheat flour + 30% sun-dried aerial yam flour; W60AS40 = 60% wheat flour + 40% sun-dried aerial yam flour; W50AS50 = 50% wheat flour + 50% sun-dried aerial yam flour
