Pyrolytic characteristics of sweet potato vine

Bioresource Technology, 2015
To utilized biomass for optimum application, sweet potato vine (SPV) was studied on its pyrolytic characteristics by TGA and Py-GC/MS analysis as a representative of biomass with low lignin content and high extractives content. Results indicated that lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose and extractives contents were 7.85 wt.%, 33.01 wt.%, 12.25 wt.% and 37.

A Preharvest Vine Disposal Machine for Sweet Potatoes

Applied Engineering in Agriculture, 1994
The massive amount of intertwined vine material produced by sweet potatoes must be destroyed before harvesting. Vine-potato detachment increases harvesting efficiency and decreases damage to the potato skin by reducing the amount of handling. A two-row machine was designed and built to shred the vines as they were mechanically detached from the ...

Effect of sweet potato vines on performance parameters and some carcass characteristics of rabbits

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, 2017
SummaryConventional feedstuffs in Brazil are expensive, which has led to the search for less conventional cheaper and locally available feedstuffs. Thus, this study was carried out to determine the dietary effect of dry sweet potato vines (SPV) on the performance and some carcass characteristics of rabbits.

Essential Oil from Sweet Potato Vines, a Potential New Natural Preservative, and an Antioxidant on Sweet Potato Tubers: Assessment of the Activity and the Constitution

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2016
Pathogenic fungi and oxidation are the major factors that cause the deterioration of sweet potatoes and also cause the loss of quality that makes consumption unsafe. In the present study, the in vitro results demonstrate that the essential oil from sweet potato vines exhibits significantly enhanced activity compared to that of the control. Furthermore,

Sweet-potato productivity as affected by recurrent use of vines as planting-material

Scientia Horticulturae, 1983
Abstract Yield performances of apical shoot cuttings of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) obtained from crops raised 2 or 4 times recurrently through vines, were compared with those obtained from tubers. The recurrent use of vines as planting-material did not show any marked variation in market-grade tuber yield, but it significantly decreased vine ...

The utilization of sweet potato vines as carbon sources for fermenting bio-butanol

Journal of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers, 2017
Abstract In this study, domestic sweet potato vines were selected as the lignocellulosic material for producing monosaccharides where monosaccharides as produced were used for biobutanol production by Clostridium acetobutylicum . First, the compositional analysis showed that dried sweet potato vines consisted of 17.7 ± 1.5 wt. % cellulose, 4.0 ± 1.4

Economic analysis of banana peel and sweet potato vines in diets for rabbits

Tropical Animal Health and Production
This study aimed to evaluate the costs of using banana peel (BP) and sweet potato vine (SPV) in rabbit diets. BP and SPV were chosen to replace maize and alfalfa hay, because, in addition to the ingredients having similar nutritional characteristics, they are among the most expensive ingredients in rabbit diets.
