Amaranth grain is a pseudocereal that has been widely studied, standing out as gluten-free seed and plant-based protein source. seeds have associated with functional properties attractive medical benefits. Besides the themselves, various other parts of plant possess significant nutritional value. Thus, on one hand, this chapter summarizes an overview amaranth seeds, leaves, flowers. Apart from this, recent research studies reported amaranth’s composition, its uses, potential benefits for human health. This also offers insight into global socioeconomic scenario farmers producers. Possible strategies include biotechnology, ingredient innovation, ethical biotrade proposed here. These three fronts, acting synergistically, would exploit considerable diversity these species promote programs to improve value chain and, therefore, life quality their communities.

The aim of this study was to investigate the potential Amaranthus cruentus flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol, catechin, hesperetin, naringenin, hesperidin, and naringin), cinnamic acid derivatives (p-coumaric acid, ferulic caffeic acid), benzoic acids (vanillic 4-hydroxybenzoic acid) as antioxidants, antidiabetic, antihypertensive agents. An analytical method for simultaneous quantification flavonoids, derivatives, metabolomic analysis leaves inflorescences from A. developed with HPLC-UV-DAD. Evaluation linearity, limit detection, quantitation, precision, recovery used validate developed. Maximum total contents (5.2 mg/g lyophilized material) (0.6 were found in leaves.

The primary focus of the review is on physiological, biochemical, and agronomic aspects plant-based proteins, with particular emphasis their effectiveness as both food sources biostimulants. A comprehensive peer-reviewed articles, scientific journals, industry reports was conducted using databases such PubMed, Scopus, Web Science. Various plant species including cereals, legumes, oilseeds, nuts, pseudocereals, tubers are recognized promising plant-derived proteins. exploration biodiversity for biostimulant protein production, coupled utilization diverse biostimulants, deemed essential. Moreover, suggestion that development particularly viable in regions where animal agriculture resource-intensive or economically infeasible discussed. Embracing these solutions aligns goals new ecological agriculture, fostering a more resilient interconnected system.

The pseudocereals quinoa, amaranth, kañiwa, and buckwheat offer a range of nutritional benefits are becoming increasingly popular as valuable sustainable sources protein. Their protein quality is considered superior to many traditional cereals due their more balanced amino acid composition, making them good options for plant-based alternatives. Extracted concentrates or isolates from pseudocereals, especially have techno-functional properties, like high solubility foaming properties. Modification pseudocereal proteins by heat treatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, pressure ultrasound processing can further enhance these properties well emulsion stability. In addition benefits, possess an excellent adaptability harsh environmental conditions dry hot weather, which makes grains option those looking source nutritionally dense alternative meet the future dietary challenges.

This review is dedicated to exploring recent advancements in the study of amaranth grain and presents research primarily on Amaranthus species such as cruentus, hypochondriacus, caudatus, a lesser extent hybridus, mantegazzianus, muricatus, tuberculatus, viridis, spinosus, tenuifoliu. Amaranth (Amaranthus spp.) promising, high-yield pseudocereal crop with significant commercial potential for developing functional food products. It contains wide range bioactive compounds, including squalene, tocopherols, phenolic phytates, vitamins, which possess important physiological properties. characterized by high levels starch, proteins, minerals, dietary fiber. Moreover, proteins are distinguished balanced amino acid composition exhibit greater resistance external factors compared animal-derived proteins. Grains free gliadin, making it valuable nutritional source individuals celiac disease, an immune-mediated disorder. Unlike traditional cereals, where prolamins glutelins dominate protein composition, pseudocereals like consist albumins globulins. The processing methods influence their quantitative qualitative often significantly improving physicochemical, antioxidant, functional, rheological work provides detailed analysis amaranth's chemical components, along its evaluation therapeutic preventive fractions (albumin, globulin, glutelin) squalene increased antioxidant activity, contributing notable radiation X-ray exposure. Bioactive compounds phytol, α-tocopherol, lunasin-like peptide (AhLun) anticancer properties have also been identified amaranth. Furthermore, six peptides were isolated from amaranth, which, according predictive models, demonstrate capacity inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) suggesting hypotensive effects. Certain considered promising ingredients prevention comprehensive treatment conditions diabetes, inflammatory bowel diseases, hypercholesterolemia, cardiovascular obesity. spp. processed products hold interest development innovative products, expansion enhancement value.

Special attention is being paid to the study of amaranth proteins. They are characterized by a high biological value that significantly exceeds those grain crops. The production protein concentrate from flour includes preliminary enzymatic hydrolysis, extraction resulting mixture, precipitation, microfiltration, and freeze-drying. In our study, obtained was limited valine, with an amino acid score 74%. true digestibility determined in vivo 97.6 ± 0.3%, which lower than casein (99.3 0.2%). digestibility-corrected 72.2%. rich source selenium, copper, magnesium, manganese, iron. Ferulic only polyphenolic compound found concentrate, but its content greater compared original flour. Saponins were not removed completely during process obtaining concentrate. We identified 15 saponins mainly bidesmoside type, sapogenins related derivatives oleanolic acid. Thus, developed can be used as ingredient functional food products, value.
