Bioactive Potential of Tocosh Supplemented with Selenium-Enriched Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Biomass

Tocosh is a traditional Andean food made from fermented potatoes with remarkable nutritional and antibacterial properties. Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient asso- ciated with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. This study analyses the in vitro glycemic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic potential of tocosh supplemented with Se-enriched Saccharomyces cerevisiae biomass produced using various concentrations of sodium selenite (0, 5, 7 and 9 mg/L) over 72 h.
