Data on Food Chemistry Reported by Xiaolin Wan and Colleagues (Comparative study of polysaccharide metabolites in purple, orange, and white Ipomoea batatas tubers).

A recent study conducted in Enshi, People's Republic of China, compared the polysaccharide metabolites in purple, orange, and white sweet potato tubers using LC-MS/MS analysis. The research identified 69 differential metabolites among the three colors, with anthocyanins playing a central role in the metabolic pathways. The study suggests that the competition between sugars and anthocyanins for biosynthesis precursors may contribute to the differences in polysaccharide metabolites in sweet potato tubers of different colors. For more information, readers can refer to the article "Comparative study of polysaccharide metabolites in purple, orange, and white Ipomoea batatas tubers" published in Food Chemistry X.
