The yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) is a plant native to the Andes, considered a traditional crop in Peru and natural source of FOS, which is a type of carbohydrate that can not be digested by the and the human body that have joined several beneficial properties in health, such as improve the absorption of calcium, reducing the level of triglycerides and cholesterol and stimulate better gastrointestinal function.
Proportion or fraction of the plant that is used (seeds, fruit, root) on dry basis. Part usable in a proportion of total mass dissected. Plant of frijol, weight = 100g and frijol = 50g then, IH = 50/100 = 0.5 or 50 percentaje. Degrees Brix is a measurement of the mass ratio of dissolved sugar to water in a liquid.
