We have succeeded in developing a vacuum-packed orange-fleshed sweetpotato purée using locally available safe preservatives that can store for three months at temperatures below 25°C. With adjustments to the recipe, high-quality OFSP bread can be made. Storable purée can assure year-round availability of OFSP purée to bakers.
