TI  - Some Bioactive Components of Sweet Potato and Taro: A Comparative Study Based On Plant Organs
AB  - This study was carried out to evaluate the variability and distribution of bioactive components of different organs of sweet potato and taro plants grown locally in Turkey. Samples extracted from different organs of these two species (tubers and leaves of sweet potato; leaves, petioles, main tubers, and lateral tubers of taro) were evaluated. Total water-soluble protein, total flavonoids, total phenolics, H2O2 scavenging capacity, carotenoids, FRAP antioxidant capacity, CUPRAC antioxidant capacity, and total dry matter parameters of two different species and their organs were measured. The difference between the organ averages for all parameters examined was statistically significant. In general, leaves of both species had the highest content for all parameters except total dry matter and CUPRAC antioxidant capacity. The effectiveness of the parameters in explaining variation in the gene pool was also examined using principal component analysis. All parameters contributed highly to the variation except H2O2 capacity, total dry matter content, and CUPRAC antioxidant capacity. According to the findings, there is a high variation between each species and between the organs. These results will guide future studies on these two species.
