  Endogenous and Exogenous Enzyme Effects on Different Breeding Clones of Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas Lam.) Roots Starch in Ethanol Production

  By Boniface J. Tiimob, Joshua Madison, Albert E. Russell, Desmond G. Mortley

  Abstract: The research described herein compares ethanol yield from the conversion of starch in sweetpotato storage roots via endogenous enzyme hydrolysis to that of exogenous enzyme hydrolysis (diastatic barley malt). White-fleshed roots of sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas Lam) breeding clones; TU090R0005, TIB4004, TU090020, TU090013, BM8342197-05, BM854219905 and TIB4085 were processed for distillation to determine ethanol concentration. HPLC analysis was used to determine ethanol and residual sugar concentrations and 1H NMR analysis was …
