    The growing interest in healthy eating has driven the search for functional ingredients from native resources, such as the myrtle (Myrcianthes hallii (O. Berg) McVaugh), an underutilized Andean fruit with high nutritional and antioxidant potential. This research focuses on its chemical and functional characterization, with the goal of incorporating it into energy bars. This research also aims to propose a healthy alternative that contributes to improving the diets of populations with nutritional deficiencies, while also promoting the sustainable use of local biodiversity. To achieve these objectives, an experimental methodology was used that included the collection and dehydration of myrtle fruits, followed by laboratory analysis to determine their nutritional composition (protein, fiber, fat, vitamin C, and antioxidants). Three energy bar formulations were subsequently developed with different proportions of the fruit and evaluated through sensory, bromatological, and microbiological tests. Finally, the process was complemented by statistical analysis to select the most accepted and technically and nutritionally viable formulation. As a result, it is demonstrated that myrtle is a promising source of bioactive compounds and can be successfully integrated into functional products such as energy bars, maintaining its stability and nutritional value after processing. Therefore, this proposal not only provides an innovative solution for dietary supplementation but also strengthens the valorization of native species, opening up opportunities for sustainable agroindustrial development in rural communities in Ecuador.

    Evaluación de la digestibilidad in vitro de un suplemento alimenticio dirigido a adolescentes entre 12 a 18 años, a partir de harinas precocidas de pseudocereales andinos: quinua (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) y amaranto (Amaranthus caudatus)

    An efficacious mixture made from ancestral seeds: quinoa, amaranth, sacha inchi and chia has optimal protein and lipid profile. In addition, it was demonstrated through the analyzes in the RVA the obtaining of a homogeneous matrix with water retention capacity, gel resistance and film formation, which incorporates polyunsaturated fatty acids and precooked flours. By hydrolysis the protein in the supplement, a protein concentrate yield of 72 percent was obtained at a pH of 4.0. In addition, by means of the electrophoresis technique an immunoprotein band with a molecular weight of 30 KDa was identified, highlighting the globulin fraction 11S called chenopodin, known as an emerging allergen resistant to gastroduodenal digestion. Through the digestion process of the starch in the supplement, it was possible to verify the efficacy of the formulated matrix, obtaining 85.39 percent of starch slowly hydrolyzed to maltoses, reaching its maximum digestibility after one hour. When carrying out the characterization of the supplement, we can conclude that it does meet the nutritional requirements for adolescents according to the recommended daily intake recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. In addition, the incorporation of essential fatty acids in a microencapsulation to the pulverized precooked flours allows the matrix to be effective due to its bioaccessibility, absorption and subsequent transformation. The supplement obtained from ancestral seeds considered as golden grains has a protein profile suitable for adolescents and a balanced lipid profile. For its sensory acceptability, it was determined that the best treatment chosen for the panelists was the strawberry flavor sweetened with sucralose. The development of the research will strengthen food sovereignty, promoting the production of underdeveloped foods, contributing to the circular economy, reducing water consumption and promoting agricultural activity.

    The present work seeks to provide an alternative to balance the diet, benefiting health, through the obtaining of free amino acids from organic quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) by hydrolysis and its formulation in a food supplement. It began with the isolation of the proteins of degreased quinoa flour, in which an enzymatic hydrolysis was carried out working, with two independently tested enzymes, papain and Bacillus subtilis protease, the latter reached the best degree of hydrolysis 41,8 percet under conditions of pH 6,5, 55 Celsius degrees and 3 h; continued with acid hydrolysis, experimenting with two concentrations of H2SO4 4 and 8 percent, optimization of the process was achieved with a solution at 4 percent, 110 Celsius degrees and 8 hours of hydrolysis, 61 percent was obtained in the degree of hydrolysis which equates to a ratio between amino nitrogen and total nitrogen (AN / TN) of 0.6. The hydrolyzed protein of quinoa dried by spray was characterized through a liquid chromatography analysis (HPLC / FLD) allowing to identify 7 non-essential amino acids and 8 essential amino acids, whose representative values were in histidine with 5,5 percent, leucine 3 percent and 2,8 percent for threonine. 250 mg hard capsules containing 125,52 mg of non-essential amino acids, 121,98 mg of essential amino acids and 2,5 g of aerosil as a sliding were formulated, providing 39,47 percent of the requirement established by the FAO.
