Abstract:Currently, there is a growing interest in traditional country products, particularly those with proven health benefits. The aim of this study was to describe the chemical composition and properties of flours and starches obtained from various quinoa. The examined quinoa quinoa starches contained 7-18 times less protein and 10-25 times less lipid compared to flours. The content of amylose in the starches ranged from 15.9 to 18.5%. Flour and starch samples were also analysed for their thermal properties (DSC), p… Show more
