NUTRITIONAL COMPOSITION AND BIOACTIVE COMPONENTS OF MASHUA (Tropaeolum tuberosum Ruiz and Pavón)
The objective of this revision is to collect information about the chemical and nutritional composition and the bioactive components of mashua; an economically important tuber in the Andean region. This tuber has a high content of bioactive compounds (total phenols, Flavin 3-ols, anthocyanins, proan...
