Currently, the agri-food industry prioritizes the development of non-destructive methods, such as dielectric spectroscopy, for quality control. The obtained dielectric spectral properties can be coupled to multivariate ...

BACKGROUND: This work studies the added value to the Andean tuber crops through the production of jams. The objective were: (1) to study the sensory and instrumental characteristics of dietetic marmalades made with fruits ...

The physicochemical and rheological properties of starches from four land races of Andean potato (Cuarentona, Rosadita, Imilla, and Waycha), and Oca and Papalisa tubers were investigated and compared against conventional ...

Microbes colonizing the rhizosphere are important drivers of plant health, supplying nutrients and antagonizing pathogens, among other beneficial activities. Tubers are important staple crops in the Andean highlands, ...

Background: Polyphenols are plant metabolites that have been largely studied for their beneficial effect on human health. Potato is one of the most important crops worldwide and is a relevant source of human dietary nutrients ...

With the aim to obtain a non-dairy solid probiotic product, three different Andean tubers -oca (Oxalis tuberosa), papalisa (Ullucus tuberosus) and potato (Solanum tuberosum spp andigena)- were assessed as fermentation ...

It is known that certain lactic acid bacterial (LAB) strains can produce folates, a B-group vitamin that cannot be synthesized by humans and must be exogenously obtained. The aim of this study was to select folate-producing ...

In the municipalities Ventaquemada and Turmequé (Boyacá- Colombia), we identified 20 small agricultures by their production systems including the following Andean tubers: Ullucus tuberosus Caldas (ulluco), Oxalis tuberosa ...
