The content of proteic and nonproteic (free and protein-bound) tryptophan in quinoaand cereal floursThe content of proteic and nonproteic (free and protein-bound) tryptophan and of proteins in quinoa, wheat, rice, maize, barley, oat, rye, spelt, sorghum and millet flours was determined. Protein content and proteic tryptophan of quinoa were similar…
