【 摘 要 】

Dioscorea alata, an indigenous Indonesian food crop, contains a lot of bioactive compounds. In addition, this yams tuber can be processed into flour using such kind of method to expand its utilization, make more affordable and extend the shelf life. The objective of this research was to study the antioxidant activity and its plant growth inhibitory activity of purple D. alata flour. The experiment results showed that antioxidant activities and plant growth activities of D. alata flour significantly correlated with its bioactive compounds.
