CHIRINOS LEAL, Wilmary de Jesús  y  VARGAS RINCON, Nataly. Proximal analysis of wheat flour crackers (triticum vulgare): tapirama (phaseolus lunatus) from pueblo nuevo de Paraguaná. cen. az. [online]. 2017, vol.44, n.2, pp. 10-17. ISSN 2223-4861.

The tapirama (Phaseolus lunatus) is a legume found in much types of tropical environment, in the humid and dry tropics. Its fruits are dark green and yellow pods that contain some kidney-shaped grains. It has high nutritional value due to its high protein content (25.09%). Its growth and reproduction in the Paraguaná Peninsula of the State Falcón are typical reaching to four reproductive cycles per year. The composite flour technology began to be used to demonstrate the legume- based nutritional abilities to make cookies. The purpose of this study was to determine the proximal analysis of wheat- tapirama- flour- based cookies from pueblo Nuevo de Paraguaná. Analyzes were carried out by methods standardized by AACC and COVENIN norms. In cookies, the characteristics of best formulation  50:50 tapirama wheat were protein whose percentage was (15,70%), total carbohydrate (72.67%); fat (2.62%); moisture (3,9%); ash (2.08%); fiber (3.03%); minerals: K (1.05%); Na (4.05%); Fe (0.34%); Mn (0.04%); Ca (0.4%); Mg (2.86%); P (0.003%) and Cu (0.06%). The legume-based flours that are rich in protein, fiber, carbohydrates and minerals associated with wheat, improve the nutritional quality.
