“…Quinoa, as a pseudo-cereal crop, is considered important protein crop because of its amino acidic profile, gluten-free, high antioxidant content, bioactive properties, high nutrient content (i.e., Ca, P, B, Fe, K, Mg) and vitamins like B1, B2, B3, B6, and E [116]. Quinoa can also be used as an alternative for vegan diets, including in quinoa-based gels [128,129], quinoa protein isolates [130,131], to produce high-quality protein and low-cost enriched pasta [132], and quinoa protein fortification [133].…”
