| Abstract: | Under anaerobiosis in white yam tubers, lactate and malate increase and decrease in opposing directions for the first 4 days. Ethanol appears in yams after 7 days under nitrogen, coinciding with the simultaneous rise of both lactate and malate. However ethanol does not occur in white yam tubers on storage in air. |
