e0“two African yam bean accessions (TSs 137 and TSs 138) at four moisture content levels of 4, 8, 12, and 16% wetbasis”
e1“With increase in moisture content there was a decrease from 42.67 to 40.96% for porosity,0.76 to 0.741g/cm3 for bulk density, and 1.326 to 1.255 g/cm3 for true density for TSs 137 while for TSs 138, the decrease wasfrom 45.05 to 43.84%, 0.731 to 0.711 g/cm3, and 1.33 to 1.266 g/cm3, respectively”
