A review on the function and application of polyphenol compound of quinoa

Abstract

Quinoa is pseudo cereal and considered as full nutritional food for its functional ingredients such as peptides, polysaccharides, saponins and polyphenols. Up to now, over 20 phenolic compounds have been reported in quinoa, and these polyphenols are related to anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic and cardioprotective activities. Recently, more and more attentions are focused on quinoa in the food and pharmaceutical fields. Many new products such as bakery, beverage and meat product made from quinoa are popular in the market. This article presents a review of the literature on the function and application of polyphenols in quinoa. The review will benefit the researchers working with nutrition, functional diets of quinoa.
