Buckwheat is a pseudocereal, which has gained interest in recent years based on its biophysiological compounds. Since buckwheat is becoming popular nutrition source worldwide alternative, in Argentine has been working in obtaining new experimental line of buckwheat produced in the central region of the country in order to promote its use. The goal of this present work was to determine the proximal analysis, mineral content, antinutritional factors and antioxidant compounds and evaluate their activity in a new Argentine buckwheat called ALMNO13. Proximal Analysis was: moisture 11.5 g % ± 0.26, ash 2.0 g %±0.29; proteins 14% ± 0.18; fat 6.1 g % ± 0.19, fiber 15 % ± 0.40, carbohydrates 51.5 g %, caloric value 316 kcal. Mineral content was Cu: 5.40 mg/100g ± 0.19; Zn: 21.72 mg/100g ± 1.93; Fe: 25.48 mg/100g ± 4.23; Ca: 39 mg/100g ±0.77; K: 19.96 mg/100g ± 11.66; Mg: 22.55 mg/100g± 10.76; Mn:16.35 mg/100g ± 0.74; P:16.70 mg/100g ± 0.9; Cr: 0.37 mg/100g ± 0.06; Se: 0.022 mg/100g ± 0.7. The presence of antinutrional factors(saponins, oxalates, nitrates, phytates, lectins and trypsin inhibitors) was determined and resulted within the acceptable values for human consumption or were negative. Total phenols, flavonoids and antioxidant activity evaluated were: 133.5 ±0.78 mg of gallic acid equivalent/100g in dry weight; 24.80 ± 0.89 mg quercetin equivalent/100 g dry weight. The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH radical scavenging activity and nitric oxide scavenging activity were: 83.70 ± 1.86 and 48.02 ± 0.78respectively. These results show that the Argentine experimental line ALMNO13 buckwheat is safe for human consumption and can be used as an ingredient in food, contributing in the nutritional quality of the diet. This is the first report on the composition and antioxidant activity of this buckwheat new variety.
