Abstract
⺠We characterise 25 cultivars of sweetpotato for their main properties. ⺠The cultivars either readily paste in excess water or exhibit restricted swelling. ⺠Starch granule morphology and crystalline structure are identical in the cultivars. ⺠There are differences in amylose content and enthalpy of gelatinisation. ⺠Functional properties of the cultivars are predictable from the chemical properties.
