Resistance to Airflow through Sweet Potato Aerial Vine Components
Applied Engineering in Agriculture, 2016Designers of forced air handling systems require data on resistance to airflow for accurate selection of fans and mathematical prediction of pressure drop and airflow patterns. In this research, resistance to airflow of sweet potato leaves and chopped sweet potato aerial vines dried in an experimental cabinet dryer was measured to determine the effect ...

Effect of sweet potato vines on performance parameters and some carcass characteristics of rabbits
Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, 2017SummaryConventional 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.

Sweet-potato productivity as affected by recurrent use of vines as planting-material
Scientia Horticulturae, 1983Abstract 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, 2017Abstract 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

[Isolation and identification of polysaccharide from sweet potato vines].
Sheng wu gong cheng xue bao = Chinese journal of biotechnology, 2009China is the largest country of cultivating sweet potato in the world. The resources of sweet potato vines (SPV) are huge. To exploit the rich resources, SPV of XuShu 18 was selected as raw materials since it is cultivated in China widely. Polysaccharide from SPV was extracted by pilot instrument and precipitated by ethanol.

AbstractThe use of residues as substitutes for conventional ingredients in animal feed is a promising alternative able to reduce both costs and environmental pollution. This study aimed to evaluate the viability of using sweet potato vines (SPV) as a replacement for alfalfa hay in diets for growing rabbits.

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,

Economic analysis of banana peel and sweet potato vines in diets for rabbits
Tropical Animal Health and ProductionThis 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.
