Overview

This study demonstrates antioxidant activity in sweet potato leaf extracts incorporated into gummy candy, suggesting a potential approach for stunting prevention in children.

Key Points

  • Antioxidant activity testing revealed strong radical scavenging potential of sweet potato leaf extract, which supports its use for health benefits.
  • Phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, highlighting the extract's rich bioactive compounds.
  • Mineral analysis of the gummy candy showed significant levels of iron and zinc, contributing to daily nutritional needs for children.
  • Sensory evaluation indicated differences between formulations, with the extract-enhanced gummy still maintaining acceptable quality.
