The chemical and techno-functional properties of nine maize races from the Andean zone of Jujuy, Argentina in the process of reintroduction were determined. The principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to establish the differences between them. The breeds studied showed high variability in chemical and techno-functional properties, which would indicate that their applications in the food industry will also be differentiated. The PCA analysis allowed grouping them into four groups, the Capia Marron and Culli razes showed unique properties mainly in the formation of gels
