Abstract
Almost all the orange pigment in the yellowish roots of cassava (cv. Golden Yellow) was indicated to be β-carotene. The content of β-carotene in the tissue was mostly in the range of 10 to 70μg per g dry weight, and was largest in the innermost part (C-part) per g dry weight, second in the intervening part (B-part, where PD occurred), and smallest in the outermost part (A-part). The content in the B- and C-parts decreased following the appearance and development of PD.
