Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry‐based metabolite profiling of chia and quinoa seeds in comparison with wheat and oat

Abstract

Quinoa and chia, especially red chia, are more nutritionally valuable compared with oat and wheat because of their compositional profile of free amino acids, organic acids, and essential fatty acids, besides their low ω6/ω3 fatty acid ratio. Such results pose them as inexpensive alternative to animal proteins and encourage their inclusion in infant formulas.
