Physicochemical characterization and antioxidant capacity of quinoa progenies from Colombia, Brazil and Ecuador produced in the Brazilian Savanna ; Caracterización físico-química y capacidad antioxidante de progenies de quinua originarias de Colombia, Brasil y Ecuador producidas en la Sabana Brasileña

In agroindustry, quinoa is considered a functional food due to its health benefits. However, it is necessary to identify genotypes that have better physicochemical characteristics and high antioxidant capacity for selection in breeding programs. This study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical composition and antioxidant capacity of quinoa genotypes originating from Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador grown in the Brazilian Savanna (Cerrado) environment. The sowing was carried out at Fazenda Água Limpa, Faculdade de Agronomia e Medicina Veterinária, Universidade de Brasília, located at 15º56' S and... Mehr ...
