The relation among beta-Carotene, Anthocyanin, and the characteristic flavor of Imo-shochu was studied. The larger the content of beta-Carotene of sweetpotato, the higher the concentration of beta-Ionone in Imo-shochu. However, no clear correlation was observed between the content of beta-Carotene and the concentration of beta-Damascenone. A strong proportional correlation was observed between the Anthocyanin content and Diacetyl concentration. We discovered the sweetpotato cultivar of Daichino-yume which can produce shochu with Linalool for a characteristic flavor and citrus flavor. The product of cultivar Hama-komachi has the highest concentration of beta-Damascenone, beta-Ionone, and Linalool and has an attractive flavor.
