Chemistry and life – why is the sweet potato placed longer and sweeter?


When the autumn is over, you can slowly see a lot of baked sweet potatoes on the side of the road. When you are in the winter, you are wearing a cotton coat and stepping on the snow, eating the sweetest baked sweet potato, but everyone knows why the sweet potato in winter is the sweetest?

First, the sweet potato was harvested in the fall. After storage, we can see that the sweet potato skin has wrinkles and the water is much reduced. The reduction of water has a great influence on the improvement of sweetness for two reasons. First, the decrease in water relatively increases the concentration of sugar in sweet potato. Second, in the process of placing, water participates in the hydrolysis reaction of starch in the sweet potato, and the starch is hydrolyzed into sugar, which increases the sugar content in the sweet potato. Therefore, we eat sweet potato in the winter to be sweeter than the baked sweet potato made from the freshly dug sweet potato.
