摘要
Total soluble sugar content and composition was studied by high performance liquid chromatography in four high dry-matter sweet potato cultivars at 3, 4, and 5 months maturity. Total soluble sugar consisted of sucrose, glucose, and fructose, ranging from 4.10-10.82 g/100 g (dry-weight basis). At harvest, there were significant differences in total soluble sugar due to maturity (p < 0.001) and cultivar (p < 0.05). The highest total soluble sugar contents were in 5-month samples at harvest (7.36-10.34 g/100 g) and 4-month samples after short-term storage under tropical ambient conditions (8.66-10.82 g/100 g). Estimated amylase enzyme activity varied significantly with harvest age (p < 0.05). Although reducing sugar contents were low, fructose levels in 5-month samples increased considerably after storage.
