Abidin, P.E.Dery, E.Amagloh, F.K.Asare, K.Amoaful, E.F.Carey, E.E.[Training of trainers’ module for orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP)]Training of trainers’ module for orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP)

Dark green leafy vegetables (DGLVs) are considered as important sources of iron and vitamin A. However, iron concentration may not indicate bioaccessibility. The objectives of this study were to compare the nutrient content and iron bioaccessibility of five sweet potato cultivars, including three...


Amagloh, F.K.Atuna, R.A.McBride, R.Carey, E.E.Christides, T.[Nutrient and total polyphenol contents of dark green leafy vegetables, and estimation of their iron bioaccessibility using the In Vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell model]Nutrient and total polyphenol contents of dark green leafy vegetables, and estimation of their iron bioaccessibility using the In Vitro digestion/Caco-2 cell model

A 2×2×3 factorial design was used to investigate the effect of two orange-fleshed sweetpotato cultivars, three curing treatments and two homestead storage methods on the general appearance, finger-feel firmness, sweetness and overall acceptability of boiled roots. The cultivars were Apomuden and ...

Uni-modal rainfall pattern has long dry spell wherein sweetpotato is scarce, expensive but cheap at harvest. The crop is mostly consumed, processed or sold. Extending shelf-life of roots is crucial for Malawi and Northern Ghana as the crop has high value. Trials were conducted in the countries at...


Abidin, P.E.Kazembe, J.A.Atuna, R.A.Amagloh, F.K.Asare, K.Dery, E.Carey, E.E.[Sand storage, extending the shelf-life of fresh sweetpotato roots for home consumption and market sales.]Sand storage, extending the shelf-life of fresh sweetpotato roots for home consumption and market sales.

Stathers, T.Low, J.W.Amagloh, F.K.Carey, E.E.Kyalo, G.Agili, S.Nyotumba, B.Were, M.[Handle with care: maintaining the quality and value of your sweetpotato roots during and after harvest through better practice.]Handle with care: maintaining the quality and value of your sweetpotato roots during and after harvest through better practice.

Curing in sweetpotato is a crucial pre- or postharvest practice that could guarantee improved shelf life,but rarely practised by sweetpotato farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa, principally due to lack of knowledge. Wound healing ability of cultivars has been associated with good root storability. In t...

Two orange‐fleshed sweet potato cultivars: Apomuden and “Nane” were grown on cow dung‐, chicken manure‐, compost‐amended soils, and untreated soil. Apomuden is a variety, while “Nane” is being evaluated to be released in Ghana. The storage roots (SRs) were harvested at 3 months, cured by heaping ...
