Popis: Rising incidences of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) necessitates research into local functional foods, crucial in managing these conditions. This study aimed to investigate compositional changes in the bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities of peeled and unpeeled roots of Ugandan sweetpotato varieties with different flesh colours using spectrophotometric methods. Bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities, on dry weight basis were significantly higher (P
