Abstract
The effect of fermentation of the yellow fleshed sweet potatoes flour was evaluated.The result
showed how fermentation techniques affect the functional properties, proximate composition,
mineral content, vitamin composition, microbiological analysis of yellow flesh sweet potato
flour. For the proximate property, moisture content ranged from 2.5- 3.0%for fermented and non
fermented, Ash from 2.10 – 2.80%,fermented and non fermented Fat from 1.70 – 0.90%, Crude
fiber 2.30 fermented - 2.50% non fermented, Protein 4.80 – 4.00% , Carbohydrate 86.9- 87.8%.
The result for proximate analysis showed significant difference (P
