Ozonation is an efficient method for improving the technical performance of some starches, but the feasibility of its use for sweet potato starch remains unknown. The effects of aqueous ozonation on the multi-scale structure and physicochemical properties of sweet potato starch were explored. Structurally, ozonation did not generate significant alterations at the granular level (size, morphology, lamellar structure, and long-range and short-range ordered structures), but led to tremendous changes at the molecular level, including converting hydroxyl groups to carbonyl and carboxyl groups and depolymerizing starch molecules. These structural changes resulted in prominent alternations in the technological performance of sweet potato starch, such as increases in water solubility and paste clarity and decreases in water absorption capacity, paste viscosity, and paste viscoelasticity. For these traits, their amplitudes of variation elevated when the ozonation time was extended and peaked at the longest ozonation time (60 min). The greatest changes in paste setback (30 min), gel hardness (30 min), and the puffing capacity of the dried starch gel (45 min) were observed at moderate ozonation times. In summary, aqueous ozonation is a new method for fabricating sweet potato starch with improved functionality.

Sweetpotato ( Lam.) is grown worldwide and is a staple food in many countries. One of the main constraints for sweetpotato production is cultivar decline, caused by the accumulation of viruses and subsequent losses of storage root yield and quality over years of vegetative propagation.

Introduction: Sweet potato is an important food, feed and industrial raw material, and its tubers are rich in starch, carotenoids and anthocyanins.
Methods: To elucidate the gene expression regulation and metabolic characteristics during the development of sweet potato tubers, transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses were performed on the tubers of three different sweet potato varieties at three developmental stages (70, 100, and 130 days (d)).
Results: RNA-seq analysis revealed that 16,303 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were divided into 12 clusters according to their expression patterns, and the pathways of each cluster were annotated.

As an important starch crop, sweet potato has significant practical importance for maintaining food security worldwide. This study identified differential expressed genes associated with the expansion of tuberous roots by comparing the transcriptome across tuberous roots at the initial period (initiated tuberous roots (ITRs), rapid expansion period (tuberous roots (TRs), fibrous roots (FRs) at the seedling stage, and fibrous roots at the adult stage (unexpanded FRs (UFRs)). sRNA-seq and degradome analyses were performed to reveal the role of miRNAs in tuberous root development in sweet potato.

The context of the peer review was that required by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of spinosad as insecticide on bulb/dry onions, maize (fodder and grain), sweet corn, grapes (table and wine), lettuce, potato, aubergine, pepper and tomato.

Micronutrient deficiencies remain a great public health challenge worldwide with iron, zinc, and vitamin A being the most problematic. It has been shown that biofortification through agronomic strategies can increase their micronutrient content, but data on the bioavailability remain limited. In Senegal, consumption of cereals and legumes is high, and orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP), rich in β-carotene, has been introduced a decade ago.
