Abstract

The qualitative and quantitative changes in the nature of different carbohydrate fractions of sweet potatoes (hard and soft cooking types), after dry (baking and toasting) and wet (steaming) processing have been studied. Maltose, glucose and fructose were the predominant sugars in the ethanol soluble fraction. The total sugar and amylose contents significantly decreased in the ethanol insoluble residues. This was supported by the decrease in blue value and the absorption maxima of the iodine complex.
