The nutritional composition was determined for two new cultivar and local cultivar grown up in Horticulture Institute in El-Qanater El-Khyariya Egypt.  The cultivars namely Minufiya 2/96 and Minufiya 9/96 were compared with local cultivar (Mabrouka). The results show that protein contents of new cultivar were greater than that of local cultivar. Protein levels were 9.78, 11.27 and 5.17% for Minufiya 2/96, Minufiya 9/96 and Mabrouka respectively. The new cultivar also were higher than the local cultivar  on total carbohydrates, total sugar, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar and sucrose content .The results revealed that sweet potato might be mentioned as a source of antioxidant (Vitamin C and β-carotene). The concentration of β-carotene mg/100g F.W was 12.64, 10.20 and 6.76 for Minufiya 2/96, Minufiya 9/96 and Mabrouka respectively, and the content of Vit. C was 15.05, 20.47 and 17.59 mg/100g F.W. for Minufiya 2/96, Minufiya 9/96 and Mabrouka respectively. Four weaning food mixture were formulated from sweet potato70%, ficus carica 10% and or peanut and chickpea or mung bean or soybean in the ratio (20%) respectively in the form of powder. Data indicate that these mixtures had higher protein quality and quantity .Formula 1 of weaning food mixture showed high acceptability for appearance, texture, odor, color and taste. Also it is cheap weaning foods, the average cost of 100 gram from .080 to 1.50L.E.
