Abstract

Quinoa is a pseudocereal and a good source of minerals, vitamins, polyphenolic compounds, phytosterols and flavonoids. Unfavorable storage and packaging conditions for quinoa decreases its quality. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics of quinoa during its packaging and storage time. For this purpose, the husking Q12-genotype quinoa were packed inside three type of packaging material including low-density-polyethylene (LDPE), textile, and LDPE + textile and stored at 5OC for one year using normal and vacuum packaging and its quantitative and qualitative parameters were evaluated. After about 3-4 months of storage, the packages under vacuum gradually lost the vacuum state. Among the vacuum packages, the samples of the LDPE + textile lost the vacuum about one month later than the LDPE film. Measured indicators results showed that with the probability of error less than 0.05 (p<0.05), the use of vacuum packaging, was effective in protection of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of quinoa grains. Both types of packaging material type i.e. polyethylene film and LDPE+textile in both types of normal and vacuum packaging with a confidence level of 95% were effective in the prevention of the quinoa quality, compared to the control (normal packaging of samples inside textile). The non-significance of all treatments shows the necessity of packaging, which has been able to reduce the difference between treatments. Among all the treatments during one year of storage time, the data of samples under vacuum packed in LDPE+textile were closer to the data of zero-day.
