Abstract:
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) is widely regarded as a versatile pseudo-cereal native to the Andes Mountains in South America. It has gained global recognition as a superfood due to its rich nutritional profile. While quinoa grains are well-known, there is an undiscovered potential in quinoa greens, such as sprouts, leaves, and microgreens. These verdant parts of quinoa are rich in a diverse array of essential nutrients and bioactive compounds, including proteins, amino acids, bioactive proteins, peptides, polyphenols, and flavonoids. They have powerful antioxidant properties, combat cancer, and help prevent diabetes. Quinoa greens offer comparable or even superior benefits when compared to other sprouts and leafy greens, yet they have not gained widespread recognition. Limited research exists on the nutritional composition and biological activities of quinoa greens, underscoring the necessity for thorough systematic reviews in this field. This review paper aims to highlight the nutritional value, bioactivity, and health potential of quinoa greens, as well as explore their possibilities within the food sector. The goal is to generate interest within the research community and promote further exploration and wider utilization of quinoa greens in diets. This focus may lead to new opportunities for enhancing health and well-being through innovative dietary approaches.
摘要:
藜麦(ChenopodiumquinoaWilld)被广泛认为是南美安第斯山脉特有的多功能假谷物。由于其丰富的营养成分,它已成为全球公认的超级食品。虽然藜麦谷物是众所周知的,藜麦绿色有一个未被发现的潜力,如豆芽,叶子,和微绿。藜麦的这些青翠的部分富含多种必需营养素和生物活性化合物,包括蛋白质,氨基酸,生物活性蛋白质,肽,多酚,和类黄酮.它们具有强大的抗氧化性能,对抗癌症,并帮助预防糖尿病。与其他豆芽和绿叶蔬菜相比,藜麦蔬菜提供了可比甚至更优越的益处,然而,他们还没有得到广泛的认可。关于藜麦的营养成分和生物活性的研究有限,强调在这一领域进行彻底系统审查的必要性。这篇综述论文旨在突出营养价值,生物活性,以及藜麦的健康潜力,以及探索他们在食品领域的可能性。目标是在研究界引起兴趣,并促进在饮食中进一步探索和广泛利用藜麦绿色。这一重点可能会带来新的机会,通过创新的饮食方法来增强健康和福祉。
