The present research aimed to study the protein digestibility and nutritional
composition of three varieties of quinoa (Negra Collana, Pasankalla and
Salcedo INIA) and the increases or decreases that these suffer due to
germination and cooking, a design was designed Factorial with two factors,
variety and treatment with three levels; The levels of the variety factor are:
Negra Collana, Pasankalla and Salcedo INIA and the treatment factor are: No
treatment, Germination and Cooking; This statistical design allowed to
observe the simple, main and interaction effects on the response variables
or dependent variables. The three varieties of quinoa were supplied by the
NGO CESAL, which has a branch in the city of Andahuaylas; Of which 1500 g
of each variety of quinoa were randomly selected to analyze the in vitro
digestibility of the protein and its nutritional composition in the raw state
and after germination and cooking. It was observed that the digestibility of
the protein of the three varieties of quinoa in crude and germinated state
presents statistically significant differences, but not in the germinated state.
Germination and cooking increased protein digestibility in all three varieties;
However, cooking greatly increased the digestibility of protein in these three
varieties of quinoa; Statistical analyzes indicate that the main effects
(variety and treatment) and interaction Variety * Treatment influence
significantly on protein digestibility, according to the interaction it is
observed that the Negra Collana cooked variety has higher percentage of
protein digestibility with 86.27% and the lowest percentage is presented by
the Pasankalla variety in raw or untreated state. The nutritional components
of raw quinoa such as protein, fat, ash, fiber and carbohydrates in some
varieties show significant differences, while others do not; The factors
studied, variety and treatment had a different influence on the nutritional
components in these three varieties. For example the protein in the three
varieties of quinoa decreased after germinating, however increased with
cooking; The highest percentage of protein presented the variety Negra
Collana with 15.67% and Pasankalla with 14.58% both in the cooked state;
The lowest percentage of protein presents the variety Salcedo INIA in
germinated state with 11.75%. Fat increased in varieties such as Negra
Collana and Salcedo INIA, but not in the Pasankalla variety after
germinating. Cooking on the other hand generated an increase in fat in the
varieties Negra Collana and Salcedo INIA and a decrease in the variety
Pasankalla. The highest percentage of fat presented the Negra Collana
variety germinated with 6,24% and the Pasankalla variety without treatment
with 6,15%; The lowest percentage of fat presented the Salcedo INIA variety
in raw or untreated condition with 5.42%. The ash decreased in the variety
Negra Collana and Pasankalla, but increased in the variety Salcedo INIA after
germinating them. Cooking on the other hand generated a decrease of the
ash in the three varieties of quinoa; The highest percentage of ash presents
the Pasankalla variety in a crude state with 3.24% and the lowest
percentage of ash presents the Salcedo INIA variety in a cooked state with
2.73%. The fiber decreased in the three varieties of quinoa when
germinating, while cooking increased this component in all three varieties.
The highest percentage of fiber presents the variety Pasankalla in cooked
state with 3.88% and the lowest percentage of fiber presents the variety
Salcedo INIA in germinated state with 3.24%. Germination and cooking
generated an increase of carbohydrates in the three varieties of quinoa,
highlighting the variety Salcedo INIA germinated with 70.15%; The lowest
percentage of carbohydrates presents the Negra Collana variety in raw or
untreated state with 67.05%.
