Characterization of Nutritional and Bioactive Compound in Three Genotypes of Mashua ( Ruiz and Pavón) from Different Agroecological Areas in Puno.

Bioactive compounds and nutritional characterization in three genotypes of mashua tubers ( Ruiz and Pavón) from different agroecological areas of the Peruvian highlands (3747 at 3888 meters above sea level) were studied. The studied genotypes from different agroecological areas significantly differed for vitamins, amino acids, and bioactive compounds. However, the nutritional characteristics of yellow, purple, and yellow-purple mashua remained unaffected.
