Popis: Cocoyam is a nutrient dense but neglected tropical food crop. Conversion of its tubers into flour and West African stiff dough ‘amala’ (WASDA) - commonly produce from white yam flour, would enhance cocoyam utilization and reduce pressure on white yam. A 3 x 2 factorial experiment with 3 soaking period (0, 12 and 24 h after peeling at ambient conditions 30±2 oC) and 2 varieties (Colocasia spp. and Xanthosoma spp.) were used. The physicochemical, functional and pasting properties and sensory attributes of the flours and WASDA were analyzed. The soaking processes significantly (p
