Physicochemical and antioxidant capacity analysis of colored sweet potato genotypes: in natura and thermally processed

Abstract: Sweet potato ( Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) is one of the most popular and ancient roots of Brazil and it can be consumed at different forms such as boiled, roasted or as sweets. Its cooking can lead to physicochemical transformations altering the nutritional properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics, bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity of twelve sweet potato genotypes of varying pulp color in natura and roasted. Soluble solids, acidity, sugars, carotenoi… Show more

“…The moderate proportion of protein is a valuable nutritional factor in the pigmented genotypes due to its contribution of essential amino acids, which makes its flour appreciated to be used as a complement to cereal flours that have small amounts of that amino acid. Purple genotypes showed the highest TSS content, and no major relation to flesh color was observed in accordance with previous studies [8,51].…”

“…Total soluble solids (TSS) content is an important quality parameter that determines the quality of the processed food product [33]. Various studies revealed that TSS varied from 7.30 to 14.57 ºBrix in fresh sweetpotato storage roots, depending on skin and flesh colors [8,23,33,51]. The maturity stage and edaphoclimatic conditions also influence TSS, which is also related to the DMC [23].…”

“…Apesar de a pesquisa não ter detectado quantidades significativas de antocianinas na Beauregard, esta apresentou maior valor de equivalente de betacaroteno, tanto na forma natural como assada, onde houve um pequeno aumento na sua concentração. Esse resultado é explicado pelo fato da Beauregard ser uma cultivar de batata biofortificada, em que as concentrações de carotenoides podem ser até dez vezes superiores a outros cultivares (Vizzotto et al, 2017). Quanto ao teor de compostos fenólicos e a capacidade antioxidante, outras variedades que foram analisadas obtiveram maior destaque quando comparadas à variedade Beauregard.…”

“…The concentration of nutrients in sweetpotato pulp depends on variety, and environment. Purple sweetpotatoes have high levels of anthocyanins, and consequently, high antioxidant capacity [5]. Conversely, orange sweetpotatoes are an excellent source of carotenoids [6].…”

“…The extent and distribution of nutritional variation in sweetpotato is essential for sound recommendation strategies for production and consumption to meet the demand for future food security [7]. Sweetpotato varieties can be identified based on their biochemical profiling [5]. Over time, natural hybridization and selection resulted in evolution of hundreds of native sweetpotato cultivars in Kenya [7].…”
