The protein content and trypsin inhibitor activity of six Taiwanese animal-feed sweet potato varieties, including TN18, TNG10, TNG17, TNG31, CYY98-08, and CYY99-68, were analyzed in this study. TNG10 sweet potatoes contain less protein (2.1%) than other sweet potatoes. On the other hand, TN18 and CYY98-08 contain more proteins. Because the protein content of sweet potatoes was not enough, soybean meal and soybean dregs can be mixed with sweet potatoes to increase the protein content. Soybean meal and soybean dregs had lower bulk density than sweet potatoes (0.70~0.75 g/ml). The difference in bulk density resulted in the difficulty of well-mixing. The protein content of soybean meal and soybean dregs was 40% and 20%, respectively. When 50% soybean meal was mixed with TNG10 sweet potatoes, the protein content of the mixture was 20%. When 50% soybean dregs were mixed with TNG10 sweet potatoes, the protein content was only 10%. The trypsin inhibitor activity of TNG10 sweet potatoes was about 50%. TN18 and TNG17 sweet potatoes had higher trypsin inhibitor activity. However, CYY99-68 had lower trypsin inhibitor activity than other sweet potato varieties. When TNG10 sweet potatoes were mixed with 50% soybean meal, the trypsin inhibitor activity of the mixture was approximately 94%. When TNG10 sweet potatoes were mixed with 50% soybean dregs, the trypsin inhibitor activity was 30%. Both soybean meal and soybean dregs were successfully mixed with TNG10 sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes can be mixed with either soybean meal or soybean dregs to meet the protein requirement. |
