Investigation of Some Quinoa (Chenopodium Quinoa) Genotypes in Terms of Quality Criteria
Abstract
Quinoa is a rapidly growing plant in the world in the last 20 years. The main reasons for this are that the nutritional contents are important for human health and food benefits. In this study, some quality criterion contents (Moisture, protein, saponin, fat, vitamin C, vitamin B, amino acid, mineral substance) of 20 genotypes belonging to quinoa, which is considered as a new plant for our country, were examined. Protein content is between 12.07% -13.19%, saponin content is between 0.82-1.87%, fat content is between 5.7-6.3%, vitamin C content is between 4.62-10.3 (mg kg-1), changed.
