Cebolla, f. Macana, f. Rayada Amarilla and f. Castilla ) with two different growth ages (young and mature). Soluble and insoluble fiber content was determined by using AOAC 985.29 method. Bending tests were conducted in a universal testing machine following ASTM D143 standard method in order to determine modulus of rupture ( MOR ). Finally, a correlation between con - tents of chemical compounds and bending behavior ( MOR modulus) was carried out with SPSS Statistical Package, version 7.0, obtaining Pearson’s coefficient correlation and showing the relationship between soluble fibers and bending response for mature Guadua culms.application/pdfMadera y BosquesAgrocienciasartículo científico
