Abstract: Within recent years, the per capita consumption of sweet potatoes has been drastically reduced. Since this is the second largest vegetable crop in the United States, the drop in consumption has had grave economic consequences, particularly in the South. 1To aid the industry, the United States Department of Agriculture undertook numerous research projects on the sweet potato itself and its production, processing, marketing and consumption. Being the second largest producer of sweet potatoes, North Carolina has been immensely interested in this work and has been actively engaged in the research studies. 2 One outcome of the research conducted at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, N. C, was the development of a dehydrated sweet potato flake.
