BACKGROUND Andean indigenous crops such as quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa), kiwicha (Amaranthus caudatus) and kañiwa (Chenopodium pallidicaule) seeds are good sources of minerals (calcium and iron). Little is known, however, about mineral bioavailability in these grains. Thus the aim of the present study was to determine the iron, calcium and zinc potential availability in raw, roasted and boiled q...

carbon dioxide is the most important resource for crop growth. in order to investigate the effect of elevated co2 concentration on morphological and physiological characteristics of sesame (sesamum indicum l.) and amaranthus (amaranthus retroflexus l.) an experiment was conducted in greenhouse conditions. the experiment was factorial based on randomized complete block design with six treatments...

This paper describes a preliminary assessment of the nutraceutical value of Amaranthus cruentus (A. cruentus) and Amaranthus hybridus (A. hybridus), two food plant species found in Burkina Faso. Hydroacetonic (HAE), methanolic (ME), and aqueous extracts (AE) from the aerial parts were screened for in vitro antioxidant and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activities. Phytochemical analyses revealed t...

Hexane, chloroform and ethanol extracts of Malva parviflora L. and Malvastrum coromandelianum L. were tested for their antibacterial, antifungal and irritant activities. While the hexane, chloroform, ethanol and aqueous extracts along with the polar mass of Amaranthus viridis L. were tested for above activities, except that of the antifungal. The extracts of Malva parviflora L. and Malvastrum c...
