More detail information
Yam is the common name for some species in the genus Dioscorea (family Dioscoreaceae).
These are perennial herbaceous vines cultivated for the consumption of their starchy tubers in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and Oceania.
Diosgenin, a steroid sapogenin, is the product of hydrolysis by acids, strong bases, or Enzymes of saponins, extracted from the tubers of Dioscorea wild yam, such as the Kokoro.
The sugar-free (aglycone), diosgenin is used for the commercial synthesis of cortisone,
pregnenolone, progesterone, and other steroid products.
Diosgenin is the precursor for the semisynthesis of progesterone which in turn
was used in early combined oral contraceptive pills.
The unmodified steroid has estrogenic activity and can reduce the level of serum cholesterol.
Phytochemical value
The tubers of certain wild yam, a variant of kokoro yam and other species of Dioscorea,
such as Dioscorea nipponica, are a source for the extraction of diosgenin, a steroid sapogenin.
The extracted diosgenin is used for the commercial synthesis of cortisone, pregnenolone,
progesterone, and other steroid products.
Such preparations were used in early combined oral contraceptive pills.
The unmodified steroid has estrogenic activity.
