Comparative in-vitro antioxidant potential of different sweet potatoes (Hannah Yam and Jewel Yam) extract
Sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas) are plants that originated from tropical America but already widely grown as food crop in many countries. The nutrient values of the sweet potatoes also are well-known as it is rich with vitamin A and carbohydrate. It also contains many bioactive chemicals including...
