The retention of pro-vitamin A was determined on Orange Fleshed Sweetpotato after drying and storage. Preliminary trials were undertaken to compare various dryers in France (sun, solar and indoor-cross flow dryers) and to optimise and assess carotenoid extraction from fresh and dried samples. The approach was then tested with local varieties in Uganda and Mozambique. No significant difference was observed between chips dried under solar dryers or under direct sun; retention of pro-vitamin A was more dependent on the drying time and final moisture content than on the type of dryer. Drying gave high retention of pro-vitamin A (> 60%); On the other hand, storage of chips (4 months) resulted in low retention of pro-vitamin A (20-40%). Storin...
