Moisture diffusivity in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) seeds: Effect of air temperature and initial moisture content of seeds

Journal of Food Engineering, 2007
Abstract The moisture diffusivity in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) seeds were evaluated as a function of the air drying temperature and the initial moisture content of seeds obtaining values between 2.53 × 10−12 m2/s (30 °C, 12.87% d.b.) and 7.67 × 10−11 m2/s (90 °C, 23.44% d.b.).

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.

Occurrence of sapogenins in leaves and seeds of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd)

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2000
Seeds of the Andean seed crop quinoa usually contain saponins in the seed coat. Saponins give a bitter taste sensation and are a serious antinutritional factor. Therefore selection of sweet genotypes with a very low saponin content in the seeds is a main breeding goal. However, selection for sweet genotypes is retarded by cross-pollination.
