Trypsin inhibitor activity in vegetative tissue of sweet potato plants and its response to heat treatment
2001-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) and crude protein content of seven genotypes of sweet potato were investigated. There was considerable genotypic variation in TIA, with a four- to fivefold range in roots and a threefold range in stems. The mean TIA in stems at harvest time was 36% of that in roots, whilst the mean TIA in leaves was only 17% of that in roots. The TIA level in roots was correlated with that in stems...
