Abstrak

Sweet potato is a local food commodity rich in nutrients and can be processed into various products to support food diversification in Indonesia. In Warugunung Village, sweet potatoes serve as a source of food and family income that has been passed down for generations.  This study aims to identify varieties, compare total carbohydrates between varieties, and analyze public perceptions and apperceptions of sweet potato variety diversity as a means of food diversification. This descriptive study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Total carbohydrate content was assessed using the by-difference method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 40 respondents selected using purposive sampling. The research instruments used an interview guide and a questionnaire. Data on the diversity and total carbohydrate content of sweet potato varieties were analyzed descriptively, while perceptions and apperception were analyzed quantitatively using a Likert scale. The results of the study showed five sweet potato varieties: Sewu, Jago, Sawentar, Sari, and Cangkuang, which can be distinguished based on their morphological characteristics (leaves and tubers). The Cangkuang variety has the highest total carbohydrate content (33.23% per 100g). The best perception of sweet potato processing into various food products is 96%. The best perception of agricultural efforts in improving the economy and increasing knowledge in sweet potato product processing training activities is 94%. Based on age groups, middle-aged individuals have the best perception of sweet potato processing. This research is expected to contribute to local food diversification strategies and the preservation of sweet potato varieties, which ultimately support food security and family economic well-being.
