Pseudocereals: Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.)

2023
Currently, there is much bigger interest in the use of pseudocereals for developing nutritious and sustainable food products. Amaranth, buckwheat, and quinoa are the three major pseudocereals in terms of world production. In particular, quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) crop an Andian seed-producing plant, with great agronomic potential, because of ...

Ecdysteroids of Quinoa Seeds (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.)

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2001
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is a hardy and nutritious Latin American pseudo-cereal. Studies on the seeds led to the isolation of five ecdysteroids using column chromatography. Their structures were determined as ecdysterone, makisterone A, 24-epi-makisterone A, 24(28)-dehydromakisterone A, and 20,26-dihydroxyecdysone by spectroscopic methods.

Characterization of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) lipids

Food Chemistry, 1994
Abstract Lipids isolated from quinoa seed and seed fractions were characterized for lipid classes and their fatty acid composition. Quinoa seed lipids contained the largest amount of neutral lipids among all the seed fractions analyzed. A very high content of free fatty acids was detected in whole quinoa seed and hulls, accounting for 18·9 and 15·4 ...

Stability of quantitative traits in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa)

TAG Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1996
The stability of various descriptive characters was studied over a 5-year period in 14 lines of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) to determine the most appropriate time in a breeding programme when selection for these characters could be performed, and which lines could serve as potential parents. Various measures of stability were employed to analyse

Triterpene Saponins from Debittered Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) Seeds

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2002
Twelve triterpene saponins have been isolated from the debittered seeds of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa), and their structures were characterized on the basis of hydrolysis and spectral data, especially NMR evidence. Among them, three compounds, including 3-O-beta-D-glucuropyranosyl oleanolic acid (1), 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-alpha-L ...
