Abstract:In order to further clarify the nutritional value and processing characteristics of sweet potato raw whole flour, the composition and physicochemical properties of three kinds of sweet potato raw whole flour and cooked sweet potato whole flour were systematically analyzed. The results showed that the total starch content per 100 g of dried samples of Jiheishu, Lingzi Potato and Yanshu 25 was 56.82, 53.47 and 36.12 g, respectively, and the starch content of cooked whole flour was 5%-6% higher than that of raw whole flour. The protein content of the three cooked whole powders decreased by 3.27%, 2.12% and 1.22% respectively compared with the raw whole powder. The total dietary fiber content per 100 g of Jisheng, Lingsheng and Yansheng was 9.31, 9.28 and 5.95 g, respectively, and the total dietary fiber content of Jishu and Lingshu decreased by 2.88% and 2.72%, respectively. The particle size of cooked whole powder fluctuated from 26 to 44 μm, and the shape was irregular due to heating, which altered the processing characteristics. Because raw whole powder retains the natural crystal structure of starch, the solubility and swelling potential are lower than those of cooked whole powder, and the stability is good, the storage resistance, the extraction rate of crude sugar protein is more than 1.3%, and the product value is better. The study showed that raw whole flour retained the natural characteristics of sweet potato, and cooked whole flour was denatured, gelatinized and partially lost due to high temperature treatment, which provided a scientific basis for the application of sweet potato whole flour in the food industry and the optimization of processing technology.
