Water-dependent thermal transitions in quinoa embryos

The water-dependent thermal transitions of the embryos in the mature seeds of Chenopodium quinoa Willd., cv. Baer II were studied by differential scanning calorimetry in order to provide tools for analyzing seed deterioration during storage. For comparative purposes, Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer (GAB...
