Variation and correlation of corm trace elements, anti-nutrients and sensory attributes of taro crisps

Taro (Colocasia esculenta) has great potential as an income generation, food and nutritional security crop in sub Saharan Africa. However, potential to bioaccumulate heavy metals is a food safety concern. In this study, variation and correlations of trace elements, anti-nutrients in raw taro corms and sensory attributes of taro crisps were evaluated. Trace elements were significantly (p
