    Análisis nutricional y actividades biológicas de compuestos bioactivos derivados del chocho (Lupinus Mutabilis)
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ciencia e Ingeniería en Alimentos y Biotecnología. Carrera de Ingeniería en Alimentos, 2022-03) Arellano Martínez, Allison Adriana; Vilcacundo Chamorro, Rubén Darío
    The choco scientifically known as Lupinus Mutabilis is the predominant species in Latin America, its nutritional and biological quality depends on different factors such as the geographical area, the species, the conditions to which the grain is subjected, among others. However, despite all this, it is considered a food matrix rich in macro and micro nutrients, as is the case of protein with 44.3 percent higher than soybeans and beans; it has all the essential amino acids among the most abundant is leucine and lysine; Its non-essential amino acid content also plays an important role, as is the case of glutamic acid that helps protect the gastrointestinal tract and stomach. Despite not being an oilseed, lupine has a high lipid content, predominantly omega 3, 6 and 9 unsaturated fatty acids. It contains 32.9 percent carbohydrates, with a high fiber content, located in the shell, covers importance for its ability to satiate, preventing obesity and constipation. Among the abundant minerals in the grain are calcium (Ca), potassium (K), iron (Fe) and magnesium (Mg). Its bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, phytosterols, tocopherols, carotenoids and alkaloids encompass antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial and antidiabetic biological activities, preventing chronic non-communicable diseases. Despite being a complete food and having great uses at a technological level, it is little known, which is why the objective of this bibliographic review is to make known its nutritional and biological importance, to promote its intake and use.
