Academic literature on the topic 'Quinoa flour'

Dough physical properties and baking quality of wheat flour substituted by 10% with non germinated quinoa flour (control), 24-h, 48-h and 72-h germinated quinoa flours were studied. The stability time and valorimeter value of the control and 24-h germinated quinoa flour substituted wheat flours were significantly longer and higher than those of 48-h and 72-h samples. The 10% substitution of germinated quinoa flour for wheat flour made distinctly harder dough than that of the control. The low amount of total and inner gas generations was observed for the 48-h and 72-h samples, as compared with those of the control and 24-h germinated quinoa samples. SEM observations showed that the gluten matrix of the control and 24-h germinated quinoa flour substituted wheat dough seemed to be more extended and more dispersed than those of 48-h and 72-h samples. The loaf volume of bread made from 24-h germinated quinoa flour substitution for wheat flour was the largest among the germinated samples; however, no significant differences were observed between the control and 24-h samples.

Pseudo cereals like Quinoa and Buckwheat are not true cereals because they have only structural and compositional resemblances with true cereals. These cereals are largely grown in all over the world. They are very important due to their excellent nutritional contents especially protein and bioactive components. Cookies were prepared by making composite flour of quinoa, buckwheat and wheat. Six treatments were prepared by adding 10%, 20% and 30% of quinoa flour with whole-wheat flour and buckwheat flour with whole-wheat flour along with controlled treatment To (100% wheat flour). Composite flours were analyzed for proximate, chemical and rheological properties. Cookies were subjected to sensory evaluation, chemical analysis, physical and textural analysis. Treatments such as 90% wheat flour + 10% buckwheat flour (T1 ), and 90% wheat flour + 10% quinoa flour (T4), showed best results in comparison with all other treatments. The cookies of treatment T1 and T4 for texture and color analysis showed best results as compared to other treatments. The proximate results of cookies showed that T1 and T4 contain 13.27%, 13.32% moisture content, 13.43%, 13.38% protein content, 22.12%, 30.08% fat content, 1.7%, 1.87% crude fiber and 1.01%, 1.19% ash content respectively. Sensory results of cookies evaluated that T1 of buckwheat and T4 of quinoa showed the best results. Furthermore, a bitter taste of cookies was developed in 80% wheat flour + 20% buckwheat flour (T2), 70% wheat flour + 30% buckwheat flour (T3) of buckwheat and 80% wheat flour + 20% quinoa flour (T5), 70% wheat flour + 30% quinoa flour (T6) of quinoa treatments. The collected data was subjected to statistical analysis to check the significance of the results in hot water extract.

The effects of amaranth and quinoa flours and protein isolates prepared from amaranth and quinoa seeds on the rheological properties of wheat flour dough and bread were studied using new recording instruments, the micro Z-arm mixer (for dough) and the SMS-Texture analyser (for bread crumb). The addition of 10% amaranth or quinoa flours did not cause significant changes in rheological properties. However, higher additions (20% and 30%) resulted in significant changes in stability, the degree of softening and elasticity. Substitution of wheat flour by amaranth or quinoa flours resulted in an increase of water absorption capacity. A significant reduction of specific volume and an increase of resistance to deformation (firmness) of the crumb of breads prepared from flour mixtures containing high percentages of amaranth or quinoa flours was observed. The addition of protein isolates did not significantly influence the main rheological parameters of dough, and bread crumb.

A comparative analysis of quinoa, sorghum, millet and rice flours and breads in terms of proximate composition, resistant starch, antioxidant activity and total phenolic content was realized in this study. Quinoa whole flour had the highest content of proteins, fat, ash and total dietary fiber, followed by millet and sorghum flours. Quinoa and rice breads had higher specific volume (192.22 and 181.04 cm3/100 g, respectively) and lower crumb firmness (10.81 and 13.74 N, respectively) compared to sorghum and millet breads. The highest total phenol content was obtained in the case of bread prepared with quinoa flour (398.42 mg ferulic acid equiv/100 g d.w.), while the lowest content was obtained for the rice flour bread (70.34 mg ferulic acid equiv/100 g d.w). The antioxidant activity of gluten-free breads decreased in the following order: sorghum > quinoa > millet > rice. Quinoa bread had the highest resistant starch content of 3.28% d.w., while the rice bread had the highest digestible starch content of 81.48% d.w. The slowly digestible starch varied from 15.5% d.w. for quinoa bread, to 6.51% d.w. for millet bread. These results revealed the huge potential of quinoa, sorghum and millet to be used for developing functional gluten-free bread.

Muffins are desirable bakery products both for their sensorial properties and for ease to be baked with numerous ingredients. Flours of date seed (D), oat bran (O) and quinoa (Q) with different insoluble dietary fibre contents were used in this study, as substitutions to wheat flour either individually (10%, w/w) or as combinations (5% each, w/w) in muffin samples. Suggested combined usage of ingredients aimed to increase the dietary fibre content of muffins while pertaining their overall quality attributes. Total moisture, ash and protein, dietary fibre, weight loss %, volume, specific volume, weight, colour and textural parameters were tested. Results revealed that, quinoa and oat bran flour substituted samples (QO) had the highest cake volume (84.5 ml) and specific volume (2.63 ml/g). Date seed and quinoa flour substitution (DQ) was the best combination with the closest hardness values to control (muffins with 100% wheat flour) samples (0.6 N), rather than an increase. Springiness (2.40 N) and cohesiveness (0.81 mm) were also close to that of control. Samples having date seed flour and quinoa (DQ) and date seed flour and oat bran flour (DO), had also the highest fibre contents, respectively. Thus, combining different fibrous ingredients instead of using them individually efficiently prevented the muffin quality loss. The best combination achieved was the date seed flour with quinoa flour (DQ) giving promising results to achieve healthier muffin production.

This study characterized and compared 13 gluten-free (GF) flours (rice, brown rice, maize, oat, millet, teff, amaranth, buckwheat, quinoa, chickpea, gram, tiger nut, and plantain) for their nutritional and functional properties. For all GF flours investigated, starch was the major component, except for gram, chickpea, and tiger nut flours with lower starch content (<45%), but higher fiber content (8.8–35.4%). The higher amount of calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, phosphorus, similar values for iron and lower content of sodium in gram, makes this flour a good alternative to chickpea or other GF flour to develop healthier food products. Amaranth flour had a high protein digestibility, while tiger nut and millet flours were less digestible. Gram, chickpea, quinoa, buckwheat, and oat flours fulfilled amino acids recommendation for daily adult intake showing no limiting amino acid. Total polyphenolic content and antioxidant capacity showed higher values for buckwheat, followed by quinoa and maize flours. Gram, chickpea, maize, and quinoa flours are good candidates to improve health conditions due to lower saturated fatty acid content. The findings of this study provide useful insights into GF flours and may contribute to the development of novel gluten-free products like bread, cookies, or pasta.

The purpose of the present research was to develop novel flat bread supplemented with quinoa flour to raise its nutritional quality and functional properties. Furthermore, evaluation of the quality of developed bread was realized with blends at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30% of quinoa flour. Chemical composition of supplemented flat bread was determined. Several properties on dough (water absorption, dough development time, stability time, elasticity, and extensibility) and their corresponding characteristics (loaf specific volume, baking loss, roundness, height, baking time, hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, resilience, gumminess, and chewiness) were then evaluated. The protein content in bread-based quinoa blends was significantly increased gradually with increasing the percentage of quinoa flour from 12.12±0.63% in control to 15.85±0.065% in 30% quinoa flour. Also, the amino acids content was increased with increasing the percentage of quinoa flour. Mineral contents in 30% quinoa flour blend such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, copper, manganese, and zinc were higher than other ratios and control bread (100% wheat flour). Rheological properties of supplemented bread such as specific volume, appearance, crust and crumb texture, aroma-odor, and colour were evaluated and found to be excellent. Physicosensory characteristics of the bread fortified with quinoa flour were evaluated and the most of panelists accepted and preferred the bread supplemented with quinoa flour more than control. The obtained unique nutritional, physicochemical, and organoleptic characteristics of quinoa flour-based flat bread open a new promising prospect for utilization of quinoa flour in an industrial scale for treatment and/or prevention of malnutrition in developing counties.

The demand for gluten-free breads has increased in the last years, but important quality and nutritional challenges remain unsolved. This research evaluated the addition of quinoa in whole quinoa grain flour, germinated quinoa flour, and quinoa sourdough, as a functional ingredient in the formulation of a rice flour-based bread. Twenty percent (w/w) of the rice flour was replaced with quinoa flour alternatives in bread formulations. The chemical composition, shelf-life, and sensory attributes of the rice-quinoa breads were analyzed. The addition of quinoa in sourdough resulted in breads with a significantly improved protein content at 9.82%, relative to 2.70% in the control breads. The amino acid content in quinoa sourdough breads also was also 5.2, 4.4, 2.6, 3.0, and 2.1 times higher in arginine, glutamic acid, leucine, lysine, and phenylalanine, respectively, relative to control breads with rice flour only. The addition of quinoa sourdough in rice breads also improved the texture, color, and shelf-life (up to 6 days), and thus they became moderately accepted among consumers. Although the germinated quinoa flour addition also resulted in a higher protein (9.77%) and amino acid content, they had a reduced shelf-life (4 days). Similarly, the addition of quinoa flour resulted in a higher protein content (9.61%), but the breads had poor texture attributes and were the least preferred by the consumers.

Given the broad acceptance of sour cassava starch biscuits in Brazil and the nutritional quality of quinoa flour, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of extrusion temperature, screw speed, moisture, and amount of quinoa flour on the physical properties of puffed snacks. Extrusion process was carried out using a single-screw extruder in a factorial central composite design with four factors. Effects of moisture and amount of quinoa flour on the expansion index and specific volume of snacks were observed. There was a pronounced increase in water solubility index of blends with the extrusion process with significant effects of all process parameters on the WSI. Higher water absorption index (WAI) was observed under high temperature, low moisture, and lower quinoa flour amount. Temperature and amount of quinoa flour influenced the color of the snacks. A positive quadratic effect of quinoa flour on hardness of products was observed. Blends of sour cassava starch and quinoa flour have good potential for use as raw material in production of extruded snacks with good physical properties.

Celiac disease is affecting around 1% of the world population and an effective treatment needs to exclude gluten. Quinoa is a high-quality gluten-free protein, and starch-rich endosperm, like the cereals. Protein contents and theoretical Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) were evaluated in quinoas from Northwest and Centre of Argentina. A batter-type gluten-free quinoa bread was developed, showing good volume, taste, nutritional quality and a good long-lasting texture. Malted quinoa seeds’ quality indicators rose until 48 h of germination; after that, an unpleasant taste was developed. Muffins made with that flour showed acceptable taste.

The acceptability of whole grain flours during storage varies widely, as does the estimated shelf life of such flours, in part because acceptability is typically determined using subjective human sensory testing. Research is needed to establish more objective measures of acceptability. This study correlated the quantitative results of a descriptive odor sensory panel with volatile compounds determined by solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS). Whole wheat flour and quinoa flour were held at 40°C for up to 24 weeks to accelerate changes occurring during storage. Samples were collected every 4 weeks and placed in frozen storage. Thawed samples were then evaluated using SPME-GC-MS and descriptive sensory odor analysis. Significant correlations were found between 1-hexanol, 2-pentylfuran, phenol, hexanoic acid, and hexanal volatiles of whole wheat flour and the odor descriptor cardboard/stale. This indicates that SPME-GC-MS can be used as a less expensive, less time-consuming, more precise method to determine the acceptability of whole wheat flour during storage. Significant correlations were not present in the quinoa flour data, suggesting that SPME-GC-MS may not be preferable to human sensory odor analysis in determining acceptability of stored quinoa flour.

O aumento da demanda por alimentos saudáveis está estimulando inovações e o desenvolvimento de novos produtos na indústria de alimentos. O amaranto (Amaranthus cruenthus L.) e a quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa W.) são pseudocereais que apresentam proteínas de elevado valor biológico e ácidos graxos insaturados além de outros compostos que atuam como antioxidantes. A maca (Lepidium meyenii W.), uma raiz anual ou bienal, é usada como ingrediente alimentar devido ao seu valor nutricional e conteúdo de fitoquímicos. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da adição das farinhas destas cullturas em diferentes níveis sobre as propriedades físico-químicas, reológicas e sensoriais de panetone. Farinhas mistas de trigo e amaranto, quinoa ou maca nas porcentagens de 10 %, 20 %, 30 % e 40 % de adição, foram avaliadas durante as diferentes etapas de produção: misturas de farinhas, massa fermentada, massa assada e produto acabado. A adição favoreceu o escurecimento gradual das farinhas e variação no tamanho médio das partículas. Nas massas, foi observada a diminuição gradativa dos valores de estabilidade ao amassamento e tempo de desenvolvimento com diminuição da extensibilidade e aumento da resistência das massas. Nas massas fermentadas, a adição de 10 e 20 % de farinha de amaranto ou quinoa e 30 % de farinha de amaranto, não incrementou significativamente (p > 0,05) a firmeza da massa. No entanto, as formulações contendo farinha de maca mostraram aumento significativo (p < 0,05) no ponto de quebra, firmeza, consistência, coesividade e viscosidade da massa. O aumento da resistência com diminuição gradativa da extensibilidade das massas também foi observado. Nas massas assadas, houve diminuição da área total de células com aumento no número de células de gás de menor tamanho em amostras com adição de farinha de maca e amaranto. As formulações com 10 % de farinha de maca, 10 e 20 % de farinha de amaranto ou quinoa e 30 % de farinha de amaranto, apresentaram os melhores resultados, com valores de volume, altura, cor e firmeza próximos à formulação controle. A análise sensorial mostrou que o produto elaborado com adição de 30 % de farinha de amaranto apresentou a melhor aceitabilidade e intenção de compra. Dentro das condições experimentais, o panetone contendo 30 % de farinha de amaranto foi o mais promissor pela boa aceitabilidade do consumidor, podendo contribuir para incrementar a qualidade do produto. O panetone com 10 % de adição de farinha de maca também apresentou valores interessantes com pouca diferença se comparado com aquele enriquecido com farinha de amaranto. Na amostra contendo farinha de quinoa, a substituição com menos de 20 % de adição melhoraria a aceitabilidade do panetone enriquecido.
The increased demand for healthy foods is stimulating innovation and new product development in the food industry. Amaranth (Amaranthus cruenthus L.) and quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa W.) are pseudocereals which have proteins with high biological value and unsaturated fatty acids, as well as other compounds which act as antioxidants. Maca (Lepidium meyenii W.), an annual or biennial root, is used as a food ingredient for human consumption due to its nutritional value and phytochemical content. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of amaranth, quinoa and maca flour addition at different levels on the physical-chemical, rheological and sensory properties of panettone. Composite flours of wheat and amaranth, quinoa or maca flours in percentages of 10 %, 20 %, 30 % and 40 % addition were evaluated during the different stages of production: flour blends, fermented dough, baked dough and finished product. The addition promoted a gradual flour darkening and tendency to yellow and red colors. In the dough, the gradual decrease in stability values to kneading and development time with decreased extensibility and increased dough resistance, were observed. In fermented doughs, the addition of 10 % - 20 % amaranth or quinoa flour and 30 % amaranth flour, did not increased significantly (p > 0.05) the dough firmness. However, formulations containing maca flour showed a significant increase (p < 0.05) of break point, firmness, consistency, cohesiveness and viscosity of the dough. Furthermore, it was also observed an increase in dough resistance with a gradual decrease in extensibility. In baked samples, there was a decrease of the total cell area with increased number of smaller gas cells in samples with maca and amaranth flour addition. Better results were observed in formulations with 10% maca flour, 10 - 20 % amaranth or quinoa flour and 30 % amaranth flour with values of volume, height, color and firmness close to the control. Sensorial analysis showed that sample containing 30 % addition of amaranth flour showed the better acceptability and purchase intention by consumers. Within these experimental conditions, panettone containing 30 % amaranth flour was the most promising for the good acceptability of the consumer and may contribute to improve the quality of the product. Sample with 10 % maca flour addition also showed interesting values with few differences when compared to that enriched with amaranth flour. In sample containing quinoa flour, wheat flour substitution with less than 20 % would improve the acceptability of the enriched panettone.

Resumo: O tratamento com gás cloro (chlorination) é um processo de modificação aplicado à farinhas de trigo para utilização na produção de bolos com altas quantidades de açúcar e líquidos (bolo high ratio), melhorando consideravelmente suas propriedades de panificação e características sensoriais. Porém, o uso do gás cloro para o tratamento da farinha não é considerado seguro e outras formas de modificação têm sido testadas para a substituição da cloração, sendo que o processo mais avaliado tem sido o tratamento térmico da farinha de trigo. A quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) é um pseudo-cereal da família das Amaranthaceae, que apresenta um potencial agronômico importante, sendo uma das fontes mais ricas de proteína entre os grãos, com altos níveis de lisina e metionina. Neste trabalho, foram avaliados: (i) o tratamento térmico de duas farinhas de trigo com diferentes forças de glúten (designadas pelas letras A e B) e misturas destas com farinha de quinoa (10, 20 e 30%, em peso) e (ii) a viabilidade de sua aplicação na produção de bolos high ratio tipo pão de ló, visando melhoria das suas propriedades tecnológicas e agregando-lhes valor nutricional. Inicialmente, as farinhas de trigo utilizadas, farinha de quinoa e suas misturas foram analisadas quanto às suas características químicas e reológicas. Foram utilizadas duas farinhas com força de glúten diferentes com o intuito de se avaliar o efeito do tratamento térmico em matérias-primas com qualidades tecnológicas distintas. Posteriormente, testes exploratórios foram conduzidos para definir o tipo de equipamento mais adequado (extrusor termoplástico ou forno de convecção) para ser utilizado na execução dos tratamentos térmicos. Estas farinhas tratadas foram aplicadas em pão de ló e comparadas com as farinhas A e B sem tratamento e farinha padrão (farinha comercial tratada termicamente). Para avaliar o efeito do processo térmico nas propriedades tecnológicas das farinhas de trigo utilizadas (A e B), foram realizados dois planejamentos experimentais aplicados à metodologia de superfície de resposta. Um terceiro experimento foi conduzido com o objetivo de avaliar os efeitos do tratamento térmico nas propriedades das misturas de farinha de trigo (A e B) e farinha de quinoa (10%, 20% e 30%, em peso). As farinhas foram aplicadas em bolo high ratio tipo pão de ló e comparadas com as farinhas padrão e sem tratamento (A e B). Os resultados do planejamento experimental aplicado à metodologia de superfície de resposta para a farinha de trigo pura (A e B) não permitiram a obtenção de um modelo, indicando que não houve diferença significativa entre os tratamentos térmicos nas faixas de variáveis independentes estudadas (tempo e temperatura de tratamento e umidade da farinha). Aplicando teste de Tukey, os tratamentos com melhor resultado de peso específico da massa, altura do bolo e dureza instrumental foram escolhidos para teste de substituição parcial da farinha de trigo por farinha de quinoa em dosagens de 10, 20 e 30%. Os resultados mostraram que houve diferença significativa entre os tratamentos para o peso específico da massa, porém a variação não interferiu na altura do bolo. Tanto o volume quanto o encolhimento lateral do pão de ló não foram afetados pelo tratamento térmico e inclusão de farinha de quinoa. A inclusão de quinoa diminuiu a dureza do miolo para a farinha B. Esta resposta não foi afetada pelo tratamento térmico. A cor do miolo escureceu conforme o aumento da concentração da farinha de quinoa em substituição à farinha de trigo, porém não houve diferença entre as farinhas de trigo puras tratadas e sem tratamento. A estrutura do miolo apresentou tendência a permanecer mais aberta com o aumento da quantidade de farinha de quinoa incorporada
Abstract: Chlorination is a process applied to wheat flour to produce modified flour that is used in cakes with high levels of sugar and liquids, improving their baking properties and sensorial characteristics. However, the use of chlorine gas for flour modification is not considered safe and alternative treatments have been tested to replace chlorination. Among the options, heat treated wheat flour has been used very often as an alternative to clorination. Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is a pseudo-cereal from the Amaranthaceae family, with an important agronomic potencial. It is one of the most rich sources of protein among grains, with high lysine and methionine levels. This work evaluated: (i) the heat treatment of two wheat flour types with different gluten strength (designated of A and B) and their blends with quinoa flour (10, 20 and 30%, per weigh) and (ii) the viability of their application in sponge cake production, to improve its technological properties and nutritional value First, the wheat and quinoa flour and their blends were analysed regarding chemical and reological characteristics. Two wheat flour types with different gluten strength were tested to evaluate the heat treatment effects in raw materials with distinct technological properties. Next, tests were conducted to define the most appropriate equipment (termoplastic extruder or convection oven) to make the thermal treatments. These treated flours were used in a sponge cake recipe and compared with non treated A and B flours and with a standard wheat flour (heat treated commercial flour). To evaluate the thermal process effects in wheat flours (A and B) technological properties, two experiments were conducted using a response surface methodology. Another experiment was carried out to verify the heat treatment effects in wheat flour (A and B) and quinoa flour mixtures (10%, 20% and 30%, per weigh). The treated flours were used in a sponge cake recipe and compared with non treated A and B flours and with a standard wheat flour. The results of the experiments based on the response surface methodology for the pure wheat flours have not validated any statistically significant model. They showed that there was no difference between the processes for the variables considered (treatment time, temperature and wheat flour moisture content). Thus, we have resorted Tukey tests to discriminate the treatments with best results of batter density, cake heigh and crumb hardness. The selected treatments where used in additional tests were the wheat flour was replaced by quinoa flour in percentages of 10, 20 and 30%. There were differences between the treatments regarding batter density, but this variation did not change the sponge cake height. It was concluded that the thermal treatment and quinoa flour adding did not interfere in cake height and lateral shrinkage. Quinoa flour inclusion resulted in a crumb hardness decrease for wheat flour B. This response did not change between treated and non treated wheat flour. The cake crumb became dark as the quinoa flour percentage raised, but there was no difference between treated and non treated wheat flours. The crumb grain was more open in sponge cakes with higher amount of quinoa flour

Resumo: O grão de quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa, Willdenow) é um pseudocereal originário da América do Sul Andina, que tem gerado interesse industrial crescente e cultivo diversificado em diversos países de América do Norte e da Europa. Recentemente nos países da América Latina tem-se despertado um interesse comum na busca de tecnologias de desenvolvimento de biomateriais, como uma forma de diminuir a poluição gerada pelos resíduos sintéticos, utilizando os recursos naturais próprios da região. O Brasil destaca-se pela sua preocupação pelo meio ambiente e manutenção das fontes destes recursos, através de programas experimentais de adaptação de culturas, como a quinoa, nos cerrados brasileiros, com resultados satisfatórios. O uso potencial da quinoa na indústria alimentícia tem sido alvo de estudos diversos. No entanto, é pouco explorada a aplicabilidade de produtos derivados deste grão, como farinhas e amido, na área de biomateriais. Dentro desse contexto, os principais objetivos deste trabalho foram: (1) desenvolver tecnologias pouco agressivas de extração de matérias-primas a partir do grão de quinoa: farinha integral (FI); farinha por extração úmida (FU) e amido (AQ); (2) caracterização das propriedades físico-químicas e estruturais destes produtos; (3) análises reológicas de soluções formadoras de filmes a partir do amido; (4) avaliação de diferentes formulações utilizadas na elaboração de filmes utilizando um planejamento fatorial completo analisando os efeitos de concentração de glicerol, do pH da solução filmogênica, e das condições de secagem (T(ºC) / t (horas)) em função da solubilidade e das propriedades mecânicas dos filmes; (5) otimização do processo de elaboração de filmes e caracterização dos filmes ótimos quanto às propriedades termomecânicas, óticas e estruturais, e cristalinidade (FTIR e Raios X). Os filmes elaborados a partir das diferentes matérias-primas obtidas do grão de quinoa foram elaborados utilizando 4% de matéria prima/ 100 g de solução filmogênica. Esta porcentagem da matéria prima foi determinada através das análises reológicas. Foi utilizado um planejamento fatorial completo 23, onde as três variáveis independentes foram: concentração de glicerol (16,6; 20; 25; 30 e 33,4 g/100 g matéria-prima), nível de pH de soluções filmogênica (9,7; 10; 10,5; 11 e 11,3) e condições de secagem (30°C/20h; 34°C/17h; 40°C/10h; 46°C/9h e 50°C/5h). As variáveis respostas foram: teste mecânico de tração (força na tração e elongação no ponto de ruptura); teste mecânico de perfuração (força na perfuração e deformação na perfuração) e solubilidade em água a 25ºC. Uma vez determinadas as equações dos modelos matemáticos, foi aplicada a função desejabilidade para estabelecer as condições ótimas de elaboração de filmes. Para o filme de amido de quinoa, a condição ótima foi obtida com concentração de glicerol de 21,2%, pH de 10,7 e condição de secagem de 36ºC/14h. Para o filme de FU: Concentração de glicerol de 21%, nível de pH de 10,48 e condição de secagem de 42ºC/8h. E para o filme de FI foi de concentração de glicerol de 20%, nível de pH de 10,6 e condição de secagem de 38ºC/12h. Os filmes de amido de quinoa mostraram-se incolores e pouco opacos, apresentando reduzida solubilidade em água e boa resistência à tração e flexibilidade. Os filmes de farinha por extração úmida apresentaram leve cor amarela, moderada opacidade e flexibilidade. Já os filmes de farinha integral apresentaram cor amarela intensa, moderada opacidade, alta flexibilidade mas baixa resistência no teste de tração
Abstract: Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa, Willdenow) is a native and oldest pseudocereal grain from the Andean region in South America. Nowadays, due to an increasing industrial interest, quinoa seeds are grown in different countries as in North America and Europe. Recently, Latin American countries have shared a common interest regarding the use of natural resources in technologies capable of minimizing pollution. In that sense, special attention has been given towards the development of new biomaterials that could diminish synthetic residues. In the last years, Brazil participated in experimental programs of culture adaptation, with satisfactory results for quinoa crops. In spite of the great amount of studies concerning the potential use of quinoa in the food industry, the use of the quinoa seeds as source of starch and flour and their applicability in the biomaterials development field has not yet been fully explored. The aims of this work were: (1) to develop a non aggressive raw material (starch and flours) extraction technique, (2) determine the structural and physical-chemical properties of the quinoa products (3) characterization of the film-forming solutions through rheological analyses (4) to evaluate the effects of the glycerol content, pH and drying conditions of film-forming solutions on some functional properties of its edible films using an experimental design (response surface methodology). The responses were mechanical properties as puncture strength, puncture deformation, tensile strength, elongation and Young modulus and solubility, (5) optimization of the films elaborative process and characterization (thermomechanical, optical and structural properties, and crystallinity - FTIR and X-ray) of the optimal quinoa films. According to an experimental design 23, films were produced from film forming solutions (FFS) containing 4g of Quinoa products (QP) /100g of FFS (this percentage of QP was determined by rheological tests), glycerol (16.6, 20.0, 25.0, 30.0 and 33.4 g/100 g starch) used as a plasticizer, and a constant pH of FFS (9.7, 10.0, 10.5, 11.0 and 11.3). Drying conditions varied from temperature and time (30°C/20h; 34°C/17h; 40°C/10h; 46°C/9h and 50°C/5h) in an oven with circulation and renewal of air. The five levels of each variable were coded as -1.68, - 1, 0, +1, +1.68. All tests were run at room conditions (22-25ºC and 55-65% relative humidity) using samples previously conditioned at 58% of relative humidity at 22-25ºC for 7 days. The optimal films elaboration conditions were determined by the desirability function. For each quinoa product, conditions were different. For films based on starch (S), the optimal condition was obtained when using 21,2% glycerol content, pH= 10,7 and drying condition of 36ºC/14h, for films of flour extracted by wet milling (FWM), 21% glycerol content, pH= 10,48 and drying condition of 42ºC/8h, and, finally, for films of whole flour (WF), 20% glycerol content, pH= 10,6 and drying condition of 38ºC/12h The S films were colorless and scarcely opaque, showed reduced water solubility, and presented good qualities of tensile strength. FWM films presented a yellowish color, moderate opacity, tensile strength and flexibility. WF films presented an intense yellowish color, moderate opacity and high flexibility but low tensile strength
