Abstract:The objective of this research was to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics of Amaranthus spp. commonly happening in Brazil, besides defining the efficiency of different extraction processes of the phenolic compounds and of the antioxidant activity. Five species of the genus Amaranthus (A. spinosus, A. viridis, A. retroflexus, A. hybridus var. paniculatus e A. deflexus) were evaluated in regard to their physicochemical characteristics such as vitamin C, soluble solids, pH, moisture, lipids and protein l… Show more
