Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is one of the main grains a domesticated species native to high Andean plains and valleys. Because its harvests do not always have homogeneous color, some companies been using sorting machines for quinoa that are adapted from other cereals, whose operation does guarantee desired efficiency. The purpose study was design build prototype machine classifies according col...

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) is an ancient Andean seed-producing crop well known for its exceptional nutritional properties and resistance to adverse environmental conditions, such as salinity and drought. Seed storage proteins, amino acid composition, and bioactive compounds play a crucial role in determining the nutritional value of quinoa. Seeds harvested from three Chilean landraces of...

This study identified the odor-active compounds and the qualitative characteristics of doughs from "ancient" grains flours fermented by lactic acid bacteria. For this purpose doughs made with quinoa and Kamut® flours have been produced and inoculated with strains belonging to the species Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus brevis and compared with fermented doughs...
