The objective of this review is to compile available research pertaining to the impact of various cooking methods on quinoa's nutritional properties with specific emphasis on how those properties affect gut health. Replacing small percentages of wheat flour with quinoa flour in baked bread increases the antioxidant activity, essential amino acids, fiber, minerals, and polyphenols. Extruding quinoa flour reduces amino acid, lipid, and polyphenol content of the raw seed, however direct quinoa and cereal grain extrudate comparisons are absent. Boiling quinoa leads to an increase of dietary fiber as well as exceptional retention of amino acids, lipids, and polyphenols.

Noble metal nanoassemblies, in particular, have extraordinary flexibility and tunable optical properties, which cannot be offered by single nanoparticles (NPs).
