The Study established baseline data on the total phenolic content and antioxidant activities of five sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) varieties grown in the Philippines including Dakol, Emelda, Haponita, PSBSP and Violet. Phenolic content ranged from 192.7 to 1159.0 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE) /100 g dry sample, Antioxidant activities were highest for Dakol, with an EC50 value of 0.7 +/- 0.2 mg/mL for DPPH radical scavenging activity, 2.5 +/- 0.5 mg/mL for reducing power, and 2.4 +/- 0.3 mg/mL for iron-chelating ability, oil a dry basis. However, Haponita had the best inhibitory action on linoleic acid oxidation at 99.4 +/- 0.9%. Methanolic sweet potato extracts had higher radical scavenging activity, reducing power and oxidation inhibition than alpha-tocopherol and higher iron-chelating capacity than ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). Significant (P < 0.05) negative correlation was observed between total phenolic content and the EC50 for DPPH radical scavenging activity (R = 0,826), reducing power (R = 0.876) and iron-chelating capacity (R = -0.800).
