Mashua is and Andean tuber rich in phenolic compounds, carotenoids and glucosinolates, all of these compounds are well known for their preventive effect against degenerative diseases. This work evaluated the effect of different post-harvest handling techniques (sun exposure, refrigerated storage and storage under shade) on the glucosinolate content, myrosinase activity and carotenoid content. The tubers were harvested and subjected to the conditions indicated above. Samples were taken periodically each three days over a fifteen days period. Refrigerated storage and under shade kept the contents of glucosinolates and carotenoids. An increment on β-carotene content was observed on the tubers stored under shade. A considerable degradation of both glucosinolates and carotenoids occurred at the sixth day on the sun exposed tubers. Myrosinase activity increased until the day 3 on the sun exposed tubers, until the day 6 on the tubers stored in shade and until the day 12 on the refrigerated ones. All of the postharvest techniques evaluated showed interesting effects on the mashua metabolites probably as a response to the environmental conditions and gave insight on which of those conditions are favorable to elicit the synthesis of bioactive compounds.
