Popis: Abstract The objective of this research was to determine the quality of the protein present in sausages fortified with quinoa as a substitute for animal protein, through the identification and quantification of amino acids, using gas chromatography and precolumn derivatization. The amino acid composition found in the analyzed products was predominantly composed of: Threonine (THR) with a concentration of 1046.32µmol / L, aminobutyric acid (ABA) with a concentration of 9685.68 µmol / L and glutamic acid (GLU) with a concentration of 1178.71 µmol / L. These values were found in the treatment with the highest percentage of quinoa flour, establishing a directly proportional relationship between the concentrations of these amino acids and the percentage of quinoa. Gas chromatography was an adequate technique for determining the amino acid profile due to its speed and sensitivity.
