Project description

There is a growing interest in the grain processing industry to nutritionally enrich grain products by incorporating pseudocereals. In order to guarantee an optimal utilization of quinoa, buckwheat and amaranth in food applications, the nutritional and technological properties of these pseudocereals
and the impact of processing on both aspects will be studied.
