Many studies showed that many secondary products of sweet potato have hygienical functions as quenching free radicals, antioxidation, and preventing cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Further understanding of the hygienical functions of components in sweet potato is considered to be one of the important factors for developing new uses of sweet potato.展开更多
