Protein content of non-germinated QPI and germinated using the BCA method.
| % Protein Content | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Sample | Not Germinated | 1 Day of Germination | 3 Days of Germination |
| QPI- white quinoa | 90.6 ± 2.55 a | 92.4 ± 1.76 a | 87.0 ± 0.59 a |
| QPI- red quinoa | 94.8 ± 0.43 b | 107.0 ± 1.85 b | 91.2 ± 0.75 b |
| QPI-black quinoa | 95.7 ± 0.21 b | 108.0 ± 3.68 b | 71.5 ± 0.92 c |
Results are the means ± standard deviation (SD) of six determinations (n = 6). Different superscripts letter for each quinoa cultivar within columns indicate significant statistical differences by one way Anova followed by the Tukey’s test (P < 0.05).
