Abstract
The sustainable use of agrobiodiversity species has been highlighted as an alternative to a resilient food system, using local species rich in nutrients and phytochemicals of nutraceutical interest. Yams belong to a botanical genus of tubers that can be useful as sources of bioactive ingredients and functional compounds for the food industry, despite the lack of knowledge about their physiology for extensive use. One of the major problemsis usually the weight loss associated with the respiratory metabolism of the products, which is why in this study the respiratory intensity of the products was evaluated. Therespiratory intensity and weight evolution of native American tubers known as "yampee" in storage were evaluated in this study. Tubers tended to lose more weight, with greater respiratory intensity under conditions of lower relative humidity, so higher values for thisvariable are needed, in addition to modulating other storage conditions at 24 °C.
