ResumenEl objetivo del estudio fue analizar el contenido de nutrientes de la malanga cultivada en la zona rural del Caribe colombiano. A muestras de malanga se le realizaron análisis proximales, de vitaminas y minerales, con el empleo de los métodos Kjeldahl, Soxhlet, hidrólisis ácido-base, incineración, cromatografía y absorción atómica. Los resultados se compararon con el contenido de nutrientes del camote, la papa, la yuca y el ñame. Los resultados obtenidos fueron 24.99 % de proteínas, 0.53 % de grasa, 59.36 % de carbohidratos, 7.65 % de ceniza, 4.88 % de fibra bruta, 2.59 % de humedad, 8.35 mg/kg de hierro, 94.45 mg/kg de calcio, 242.37 mg/kg de magnesio, 6.21 mg/kg de zinc, 0.188 mg/100 mg de vitamina C, 0.047 mg/100 mg de Vitamina B1, y 0.078 mg/100 mg de Vitamina B3. El contenido de proteínas y grasas fue superior al de los otros vegetales comparados. AbstractThe aim of the study was to analyze the nutrient content of the taro cultivated in rural areas of the Colombian Caribbean. To the samples of taro, proximal analyzes of vitamins and minerals were carried out, using the Kjeldahl, Soxhlet methods, acid-base hydrolysis, incineration, chromatography and atomic absorption. The results were compared with the nutrient content of sweet potato, potatoes, cassava and yams. The results obtained were 24.99% protein, 0.53% fat, 59.36% carbohydrate, 7.65% ash, 4.88% crude fiber, 2.59% moisture, 8.35 mg / kg of iron 94.45 mg / kg calcium 242.37 mg / kg magnesium, 6.21 mg / kg of zinc, 0.188 mg / 100 mg of vitamin C, 0.047 mg / 100 mg of vitamin B1, and 0.078 mg / 100 mg vitamin B3. The content of proteins and fats was higher than the other vegetables compared.
