Yield and quality of wilted sweet potato vines and its silages [PDF]
Horticultura Brasileira, 2015 Sweet potato is widely used for human consumption, but has also potential for its use in animal feeding. In this study we evaluated yield and quality as forage of wilted vines of various sweet potato genotypes and selected the most suitable for silage. Fifteen genotypes were evaluated (BD-31TO, BD-26, BD-13, BD-17, BD-22, BD-24, BD-54, BD-56, BD-69, BD-

In VitroAntioxidant Effects of Flavonoids of Sweet Potato Vines [PDF]
International Journal of Food Properties, 2010 Flavonoids of sweet potato vines (FSPV) were examined for their antioxidant effects in vitro. The scavenging capacities of FSPV on 1,1-diphenyl 2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide anion radical, and hydroxyl radical were measured, and their antioxidant activity in a linoleic acid model system was studied using thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method.
