ABSTRACT
A wide variety of the roots and tubers play a major role in human diet , animal feed and industrial raw materials. Sweet potatoes(SP) plays an important role in human diet and considered as second staple food in developed and underdeveloped countries . Moreover,SP production and management need low inputs compared to the other staple crops. The colour of SP flesh varies from white,yellow, purple and orange. Scientific studies reported the diversity in SP flesh colour and connection with nutritional and sensory acceptability. Among all, Orange fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) has been attracting food technologists and nutritionists due to it's high content of carotenoids and pleasant sensory characteristics with colour. Scientific reviews on the OFSP nutritional composition and role in vitamin A management are hardly available in the published literature. So, this research is conducted to address vitamin A on OFSP and it's role in handling vitamin A malnutrition.
