What does sweet potato saccharification mean?
Sweet potato saccharification refers to the process of converting starch in sweet potato into sugar.

Starch is the main carbohydrate in sweet potato and consists of many glucose molecules. During saccharification, starch molecules are decomposed by enzymes to produce sugar molecules, mainly glucose. This process can be achieved by heating sweet potatoes or using enzymes. Sweet potato saccharification is an important step in many cooking and food processing processes. Through saccharification, the starch in sweet potato becomes soluble sugar molecules, which makes sweet potato more sweet and delicious.
