Sensory quality of orange-fleshed sweetpotato cultivars as affected by curing and household-level storage methods por Atuna, R.A., Amagloh, F.K., Carey, E.E., Low, Jan W.

“…Apart from general appearance (3.64 vs. 3.32, p = 0.002) and finger-feel firmness (3.51 vs. 3.25; p = 0.006) in which females had a significantly higher score than males in the first farming season, all the other sensory attributes were similarly ranked by males and females for both years. In-ground and field-piled curing methods, there is increased consumer acceptability and it should be encouraged.…”
