Some Information About Quinoa:

Industrial Use:
Quinoa starch has excellent stability in freeze thaw conditions, and could provide an alternative to chemically modified starches. 
The starch has special potential for industrial use because of the small size of the starch grain, for example in aerosol production, pulps, self-copy paper, dessert foods, excipients in the plastics industry, talcs and anti off-set powders.
In addition to the industrial use of the quinoa grain, the saponins from the pericarp of the bitter quinoa variety have the ability to be used in different beneficial forms.
They can be also extracted from the pericarp of bitter quinoa form a foam in aqueous solutions, leading to possible applications in detergents, toothpaste, shampoos, or soaps.
The use of saponin as a bio-pesticide was also shown to have potential in a successful demonstration carried out in Bolivia.
