| 英文摘要 |
Djulis (Chenopodium formosanum Koidz.) is a traditional cereal plant in Taiwan. However, the bitterness and browning of the hull make it less acceptable and limit its usage. Very few Djulis products can be seen on the market in recent years. Therefore, the characteristics, functional ability or applications of different varieties of this ethnic crop remained unknown untill we started our investigation 2006. Besides the analysis of its nutrients and functional compounds, we also tried to develop its application in functional foods. Hopefully, Djulis may become an economical crop with high profit. |
