Popis: A comparative evaluation of the flow and packing properties of starch products extracted from three sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) cultivars grown in Jamaica was done with a view to assessing their suitability as excipients in solid dosage formulations. Significant differences were observed in the properties of the starches obtained from the different sweet potato cultivars (p 0.05). All other fundamental properties calculated from the projected mean diameter including surface mean diameter (d vs ), Heywood equivalent diameter (de) and specific surface (S w ) varied significantly (p
