In this work thermophysical and thermochemical properties of dried commercial maca flour were studied by combustion calorimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Net calorific value or combustion massic energy (419 ± 3 Kcal/100 g); specific heats (between -4 and 70 °C) where c.e. for 25 °C is 1.46 ± 0.03 J/g.°C; and thermal parameters, such as temperature and enthalpy, of decomposition (Tmax = 210.1 ± 0.4 °C, ΔHdec 82 ± 10 J/g) and gelatinization (Tp = 76.9 ± 0.4 °C, ΔHgel = 5.6 ± 0.5 J/g) processes were evaluated.
