“…The calcium content, which is located in the pericarp and seed coat, may be more or less affected by the abrasion process for elimination of saponins, which are found mainly in the outer layer of the seed (Konishi, Hirano, Tsuboi, & Wada, ; Ruales & Nair, ). Lower content of minerals has previously been reported for canihua (Fe 2.5 mg/100 g DM, Zn 2.8 mg/100 g DM, Ca 66 mg/100 g DM), and for amaranth seeds from Peru (Fe 5.0 mg/100 g DM, Zn 1.2 mg/100 g DM, Ca 28 mg/100 g DM) (Repo‐Carrasco‐Valencia et al, ; Villa, Russo, Kerbab, Landi, & Rastrelli, ). The phytate content in pseudocereals is moderate to high in this study and in agreement with the values previously reported for quinoa (752–2,470 mg/100 g DM), canihua (800 mg/100 g DM), and amaranth (1,393 mg/100 g DM) (Lazarte, Carlsson, et al, ; Repo‐Carrasco‐Valencia, Acevedo de La Cruz, Icochea Alvarez, & Kallio, ; Sanz‐Penella, Wronkowska, Soral‐Smietana, & Haros, ; Valencia, Svanberg, Sandberg, & Ruales, ).…”

There is a scarcity of information on mineral and phytate content in plant‐based foods in Bolivia. This study aimed to analyze iron, zinc, calcium, and phytate content and estimate the mineral bioavailability of foods consumed in Chapare, Bolivia. Minerals and phytate were analyzed, and bioavailability was estimated in 17 food samples. Leafy vegetables and green legumes had the highest mineral content, followed by pseudocereals. Estimated mineral bioavailability was low for cereals, dry legumes, pseudocereals, and flaxseeds foods mainly due to phytate content. But estimated zinc bioavailability for black cornmeal, yellow corn, and dry peas was moderate. Strong correlations (p < 0.01) were found between the three minerals, while phytate correlated negatively to iron, zinc, and calcium. To get an overview of the estimated mineral bioavailability of plant‐based diets, we have included foods, from the same area, analyzed in a previous study where the evaluated diet covers 80% of RNI for iron and zinc, but <40% of calcium. In conclusion, leafy vegetables and green legumes had the highest contents of minerals and the lowest phytate content of the foods analyzed in the study. The usage of processing strategies and dietary diversification to reduce phytate content would significantly improve estimated mineral bioavailability in plant‐based diets.

“…Quinoa seed contains 6.27 to 692.49 mg/kg total saponins, whereas saponin content in amaranth seed is significantly lower at 0.9 to 4.91 mg/kg . At least 16 and 6 saponins have been identified in quinoa and amaranth seed, respectively, which can be divided into three different subgroups containing either oleanolic acid, hederagenin or phytolaccagenic acid as the aglycone .…”

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) and amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.) are pseudocereal grains rich in both macronutrients and micronutrients including vitamins and minerals. The proteins are particularly of high nutritional quality due to the outstanding balance of essential amino acids. However, recent research strongly suggests that nonessential nutrients such as phytochemicals of quinoa and amaranth may also have potential health beneficial effects. This review focuses on the phytochemical composition of quinoa and amaranth seeds, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of hydrophilic (e.g. phenolics, betacyanins) and lipophilic (e.g. fatty acids, tocopherols, and carotenoids) nutrients, and how these contribute to the potential health benefits, especially in lowering the risk of the oxidative stress related diseases e.g. cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. The gap between current knowledge and future research needs have also been identified.

“…Current research has suggested quinoa's composition to be as follows: 55.3 % carbohydrates, 12.4 % lipids, and 11.7 % proteins. Quinoa has high-quality proteins (consisting of sulfur, lysine, and aromatic amino acids) and has higher concentrations of amino acids than those the FAO and WHO suggest for grains (Gallego Villa et al 2014). Findings of a 2011 study supported the use of quinoa as a potential source of dietary fiber, polyphenols, and other antioxidants and concluded that extrusion of quinoa (a process allowing foods, such as pastas, to be mass-produced) improves its nutritional value (Repo-Carrasco-Valencia and Serna 2011).…”
