“…As indicated by other authors [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ], SPs mainly consist of carbohydrates (sugars + starch) and protein, crude fiber, fat, and ash in graded order. Although food processing [ 10 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ] and genetic improvements [ 5 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 43 , 51 , 52 ] modify the content of specific components, the overall ratio often remains intact. Moreover, like many other R&Ts, SPs are rich in essential minerals (e.g., Mg, Mn, Fe, P, Zn, Cu Ca) and vitamins, such as α/β- carotene, lutein, vitamin B1, B2, B6, pantothenic acid, niacin, biotin ascorbate, and tocols [ 10 , 60 , 61 ].…”
