Peer Review Process

Manuscripts submitted to Memorias del Instituto de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Salud undergo a double-blind peer review process, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the evaluation. Each manuscript is assessed by a minimum of two external reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area, who are given a period of 30 days to submit their evaluation. Reviewers assess the originality, methodological rigor, scientific relevance, and clarity of presentation of each work. Based on the reviewers' reports, the Editorial Committee decides whether to accept, request revisions, or reject the manuscript, and communicates the decision to the authors as promptly as possible. This process ensures impartiality, transparency, and the scientific quality of published articles.

Abstract

La ingesta diaria de hortalizas se relaciona con menor riesgo de cáncer, diabetes, enfermedades coronarias y obesidad, pero partes de estos alimentos como cáscaras, tallos y hojas no son reutilizadas, aumentando los desperdicios e impactando negativamente al medio ambiente. El objetivo de este trabajo fue establecer el valor nutricional de hojas y tallos de apio, betarraga y brócoli del Mercado Mayorista Lo Valledor en Santiago de Chile. Un total de 6 muestras se recolectaron desde puntos de ventas del Mercado Mayorista, 3 de hojas de hortalizas (apio, betarraga y brócoli) y 3 de tallos (apio, betarraga y brócoli). La recolección, preparación y entrega de las mismas se realizaron de acuerdo a protocolos indicados por el laboratorio encargado de realizar los análisis nutricionales. Las hojas de betarraga presentaron mayor contenido de proteínas (2,6 g), fibra dietética total (4,5 g) y fibra dietética insoluble (3,3 g) que los tallos, pero estos aportan más carbohidratos (7 g). Las hojas de apio tienen más calorías (20,4 kcal), proteínas (2,4 g), fibra dietética total (7,4 g), fibra dietética soluble (1,3 g) y fibra dietética insoluble (5,3 g) aunque los tallos presentan un contenido superior de carbohidratos (4,1 g). Finalmente, las hojas de brócoli destacan por su contenido de carbohidratos (9,0 g), proteínas (2,5 g), fibra dietética total (10,4 g) y fibra dietética insoluble (7,9 g). De acuerdo al valor nutricional obtenido, estos excedentes son una opción de alimento en la dieta diaria de las personas y su valorización debe ser contemplada.
