On the other hand,around 22% of the TDF in quinoa and amaranth was soluble comparedิto 15% for wheat and maize. Other studies have reported SDF values for quinoa and amaranth that represent around 12–50% of their TDF content; which is wide range however, variations in genotype, growth conditions and method of analysis will result in different values for amounts of fibre components. Maize SDF content was significantly lower than all samples. Results showed that quinoa and amaranth provide a higher proportion of soluble fibre than wheat and maize. Depending on the specific compositional and structural features of their dietary fibres and because many of the health-promoting
