This document presents the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for instrumental texture evaluation of pounded yam developed by Bowen University team in Periods 3 and 4. The objective of this SOP was to develop and establish procedure for instrumental textural quality measurement for pounded yam prepared from varieties of yam tubers using a texture analyser. The results of the test showed that this method of texture evaluation is repeatable and discriminant. This was achieved and validated by CIRAD texture experts.
