ABSTRACT

Grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) flour stored for six months in airtight glass containers at room temperature was analyzed for nutrient composition initially and after 3rd and 6th month of storage. No significant effect on nutrients was observed but sensory qualities decreased in sixth months of storage.
