1. We analyzed sweet potatoes, produced in 1950, and made dried slices from analyzed samples, and then examined the yield of dried slices and their components.
2. The yield of dried saes fo sweet potatoes was 27-43%.
3. We investigated the relation between starch values of raw and dried sweet potatoes, in respect to the yield of dried slices We found that the yield of dried slices and their starch value were higher, when they were made from raw sweet potatoes with smaller amounts of water and higher starch values, except in a few cases.
4. The ratio of dried slices to raw sweet potatoes, 1: 3-3. 3, can he applied, only when the potato is low in starch content. This ratio 1: 2.5-2.8 for the raw sweet potato with the starch value higher than-25.
