description Quinoa seed (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) is characterized by a balanced composition, rich in proteins, fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants; so, it can be incorporated into the formulation of cereal bars in order to increase  the nutritional value of the daily diet. Therefore, the objective of this work was to study the effect of quinoa seed incorporation on the technological,  nutritional and sensory quality of cereal bars. Three samples of cereal bars were prepared with different percentages of substitution of crispy rice with  quinoa seeds and a control (without addition of quinoa). An increase in weight  and a decrease in he length of the cereal bars were observed, as the level of quinoa increasedin the formulation. The hardness of the bars was affected, obtaining softerbars when they had quinoa in their formulation. The incorporation of quinoa generated an increase in the content of minerals, proteins and dietary fiber of the final product. In addition, the quinoa cereal bars showed a slower starch digestibility. Consumers liked the taste of quinoa bars and they also had good overall acceptability.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar el efecto de la incorporación de semillas de quinoa en la calidad tecnológica, nutricional y sensorial de barras de cereal. Se elaboraron y analizaron tres muestras de barras de cereal, con diferentes porcentajes de sustitución de arroz crocante por semillas de quinoa y un control (sin quinoa). Se observó un incremento de peso de las barras de cereal, a medida que se aumentó el nivel de sustitución y una disminución en el largo de éstas. La dureza de las barras fue afectada, obteniéndose barras más blandas cuando tenían quinoa en la formulación. La incorporación de quinoa generó un aumento en el contenido de minerales, proteínas y fibra alimentaria del producto final. Además, las barras de cereal con quinoa presentaron una digestibilidad más lenta del almidón. A los consumidores les resultó agradable el sabor de las barras con quinoa y también tuvieron una buena aceptabilidad global.
