Article: Impact of Baking on Vitamin E Content of Pseudocereals Amaranth, Quinoa, and Buckwheat

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to analyze the vitamin E composition of amaranth, quinoa, and buckwheat pseudocereals. The method used consisted of a one-step extraction with hexane followed by normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (NP-HPLC) coupled with a fluorescence detector. This method afforded complete separation of all vitamin E compounds present. In addition, vitamin E stability following high-temperature processing such as breadmaking was also studied. The vitamin E composition differed significantly from grain type to grain type, and highest vitamin E content (expressed as α-tocopherol equivalents) was found in quinoa grains, followed by amaranth and ...
