摘要
This chapter provides a contemporary review of production, quality, and processing aspects of sweetpotatoes. It tabulates the world and regional sweetpotato production for 1994‐2014. The chapter shows the nutritional values of sweetpotato roots and leaves and selected processed products. The nutrient composition of sweetpotato roots varies widely, depending on the cultivar, growing conditions, maturity, and storage. In developing countries, storage of sweetpotatoes has been done for hundreds of years and is still practiced using various pit, or underground storage structures. The success of these structures depends on how close they come to maintaining the ideal temperature, moisture, and oxygen levels as described in the chapter. Sweetpotato roots and other plant parts are used as human food, animal feed, and processing industry. For industrial processing, starch, sugars, and natural colorants are the major intermediate products that can be used in both food and nonfood processing industry.

本章提供了关于甘薯生产，质量和加工方面的现代评论。它列出了1994 - 2014年世界和区域甘薯产量。本章介绍了甘薯根部和叶片以及加工产品的营养价值。甘薯根的营养成分差异很大，取决于品种，成长条件，成熟度和储存。在发展中国家，甘薯储藏已经进行了数百年，目前仍在使用各种矿坑，或地下储存结构。这些结构的成功取决于它们如何接近本章所述的维持理想的温度，湿度和氧气水平。甘薯根和其他植物部分被用作人类食物，动物饲料和加工工业。对于工业加工而言，淀粉，糖，天然着色剂是可用于食品和非食品加工业的主要中间产品。
