CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
1.1 Introduction
According to Encyclopedia of Food and Culture (2019) Sweet potato (Ipomoea Batata) is
in the botanical family Convolvulaceae along with common plants, such as bindweed and
morning glory. It grows from underground tuberous roots with trailing, twisting stems that
can be as long as twenty feet (six meters). Leaves are variable in shape, size, and color but
are generally more or less heart-shaped and green with purple markings.
Sweet potatoes are a great source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are high in
fiber and antioxidants, which protect your body from free radical damage and promote a
healthy gut and brain. As well as sweet potatoes are rich in beta carotene, which if it is
converted to vitamin A it can support your eyes to have a good vision and it can help your
immune system. Skin is the largest organ of the body. It serves as a protective barrier
between internal and external skin. Healthy skin is better able to fights signs of aging, heals
much faster and staves off potential disease better than unhealthy skin. (Aya Pauli, 2012)
The researchers conducted this study to identify and examine the use and benefit
of sweet potato as a soap. There are least studies about sweet potato and their aim is to prove
that sweet potato can help in terms of whitening and eventually give an insight to the
question whether sweet potato can help one’s skin to improve not only by whitening as well

to extend healthy vegetative cell production. Anthocyanins are another highly bioavailable nutrient
in sweet potatoes that can have anti-aging properties. Anthocyanins are a type of flavonoid
antioxidant. Antioxidants can have anti-aging properties because they neutralize molecules called

Local
According to Irish S. Gepitulan, Gomez R. S. & Impas C. G. et. al (2013) in their study
“The Effect of Ipomoea batatas Linn (KAMOTE) Tops Poultice on the Acne of Selected
Adolescents (13-16 years old) in Cansojong National High School at Talisay City. Cebu: basis for
information dissemination” The study utilized the quasi-experimental research design. Study was
conducted at Cansojong National High School, Talisay City, Cebu. Wherein Twenty-five
adolescents were selected through purposive sampling method. The acne monitoring sheets and
the acne grading scale were used to document the daily progress of the Treatment. Treatment was
done once every night before bed time. The Kamote tops were washed with running water and
chopped into pieces. The kamote tops were pounded and placed inside a vial. Each vial contained
10 grams of kamote tops poultice. Prior to application of the poultice, the acne was graded using
the acne grading scale. Then the faces were washed with water and hypoallergenic soap. The
Poultice was carefully removed after 20 minutes. Ten minutes after removing the poultice, the
participants' faces were washed with the hypoallergenic soap for the second time. The acne was
graded again after washing the faces. This was done for 14 days to monitor changes. The data
collected were analyzed and subjected to statistical treatment. The results show the median acne
severity of 2 before the application of kamote tops poultice and the median acne severity of 2 after
the 14-day treatment of kamote tops poultice. Using the Wilcoxon signed ranks tests, there is a
significant median changes of the acne severity before the application of kamote tops poultice and

(Juan Paolo Aquino, 2014) Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is an Asian crop considered as
an important staple food in most countries. Originating from Central America, it is an herbaceous
perennial vine that has white and purple flowers, large nutritious storage roots, and heart-shaped
lobed leaves. It is now widely grown in tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate regions,
including the Philippines. In fact, the volume of production of sweet potato in the Philippines in
2012 was 516,365.52 metric tons. Throughout Asia, people process sweet potato for snacks such
as chips or animal feeds. Its tubers contain carbohydrates (21 g), protein (2 g), sodium (36 mg),
Vitamin A (19,218), Vitamin C (20 mg), and calcium (38 mg). Sweet potato is rich in dietary fiber,
calcium, complex carbohydrates, and anti-oxidants.
In According to Ignacio, R. J. (2019) The International Potato Center (CIP) aforesaid the
sweet potato business within the Philippines isn't pushing out process technology to the farm level
and in several cases has insufficient linkages between the producers and markets. “There are lot of
technologies there. There are organizations with developing technologies, on the market within
the Philippines et al. But the factor is however it'll reach farmers? We are gazing that gap and the
way we are able to stock up that gap,” CIP Asia Regional Director Samarendu Mohanty. He said
that sweet potatoes are resilient crops which is able to survive floods, and are recommended for
planting during the rainy season, while the dry season can be devoted to other crops. “Kamote, or
sweet potato, could be a terribly resilient crop. It can survive typhoons and floods. Sweet potato
will be terribly profitable. If they will get some value-addition, they can also make more money
on sweet potato, CIP Senior analysis Associate Arma Bertuso aforesaid that Philippines isn't
additionally capable of commerce sweet potatoes thanks to its low production. She said that our
supply of kamote is not enough. There is need for kamote but at the same time, because this is an
archipelagic country even if there is plenty of supply in Eastern Visayas there is a need to tap local
government units (LGUs) to facilitate loan programs and spread information to farmers with regard
to processing technology and market linkages. According to CIP, more than 105 million tons (MT)
of sweet potato is produced globally, with 95% produced in developing countries, with the crop
considered a valuable source of vitamins A, B, C and E.
