Physico-chemical, functional and anti-nutritional factors of the white bold quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa willd)

Quinoa is a plant seed well known scientifically as Chenopodium quinoa. It super food. In the present study white bold quinoa variety was analyzed for physical, functional, cooking and nutritional properties. Thousand kernel weight (2.24g), length (2.2125mm), hydration capacity (0.16g/1000 kernel) bulk density 0.74g/ml. Lightness of grains 87.56 L*. Grains had 157.3 per cent water holding capacity, 99 oil absorption 16.94 47.38 foaming stability respectively. Cooking characteristics showed 235.29 increase in weight, alkali spread ratio zero which highest 92.60 ? C gelatinization temperature. has got 18.95 g protein, fat (5.44 g), carbohydrate (57.88 g) 356.81 Kcal energy. Major anti-nutrient saponins were also (616.82 mg/100g). Thus concluded that rich source protein with good functional
