Stage reached
| Stage of Innovation | Stage 1: discovery/proof of concept |
| Year (Stage) | 2021 |
| Stage Description | Studies demonstrate the storability of sweetpotato roots are influenced by wound healing ability, sugars, periderm thickness, antioxidant scavenging capacity, antioxidant content and quantity, antioxidant enzymes and their complex interactions rather than just the antioxidant activity of leaves. |
