Abstract: In this paper, sweet potato cultivars Xinxiang, Zheshu75 and Nonglin54 were used as experimental materials to study the dynamics of main nutrients and aroma components of sweet potato during storage, to provide theoretical basis for the storage and preservation of sweet potato. The storage condition was set as temperature (14.95±1.27) ℃, and relative humidity (76.68±4.98)%. Samples were collected on 0, 20, 40, 60, 90, 110 d, respectively. It was shown that the dry matter content of three sweet potato cultivars increased, whereas the starch content and carotenoids showed a decreasing trend during storage. The number of sweet potato aroma components also decreased. The maximum content of aroma components in Xinxiang, Zhejiang75and Nonglin54 appeared on 40, 110, 20 d, respectively. Benzaldehyde and phenylacetaldehyde were not only the shared aroma components of three cultivars, but also the important components of sweet potato aroma.
