Utilization of sweet potato (Ipomea batatas) Bengueta var. and Haponita var. in the production of ethanol as a potential source of biofuel.

Sweet potato has great potential for biofuel production. Processing sweet potatoes to turn starch into sugars and fermenting it can make an ethanol. This study focuses on using Bengueta and Haponita varieties of sweet potato for production of biofuel. The two varieties were compared based on the...
