ABSTRACT
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a pseudocereal plant that originally came from South America. The trend of consuming quinoa is propelled by its wellâbalanced amino acid profile compared to that of other plants. In addition, its glutenâfree nature makes quinoa a promising diet option for celiac disease patients. Protein accounts for approximately 17% of the quinoa seed composition and quinoa protein possesses excellent quality. Quinoa protein is mainly composed of 11S globulins (37%) and 2S albumins (35%), both of which are stabilized by disulfide bonds. To date, the alkaline extraction method is the most commonly used method to extract quinoa protein. The functional properties and digestibility of quinoa protein can be improved with the help of various modification methods, and as a result, the application of quinoa protein will be extended. In this review, the extraction method, modification of functional properties and digestibility of quinoa protein are thoroughly discussed, providing insights into the application of quinoa protein in plantâbased foods.
