General information
- Short Summary
-
Established Slovak scientific and research institute in cooperation with a Slovak university has managed to breed a new variety of Amaranthus cruentus L., which has an increased seed production potential compared to the so far industrially exploited varieties, while maintaining a high nutritional value with a number of biologically valuable substances.
The preferred cooperation type are commercial agreement or investment agreement. - Full Description
-
A team of breeders from a Slovak research institute and a Slovak university has managed to breed a new variety of Amaranthus cruentus L., which is a very promising crop for the future thanks to its valuable characteristics in combination with adaptation to a wide range of growing regions.
Variety characteristics are: medium early variety of high stature and of grain type with an average weight of 1000 seeds of 0.96 g.
Possibilities of use:
• cultivation for seed with potential utilization in the food industry for the production of healthy and special foods for the health support of the population (e.g. for the production of gluten-free cereal products needed for people suffering from celiac disease),
• good possibilities for use also in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry thanks to uniquely small starch grains.
The institutions are looking for a partner to cooperate with via commercial agreement or investment agreement. - Advantages and Innovations
-
• increased seed production potential, while maintaining high nutritional value with a number of biologically valuable substances,
• very high nutritional value with high protein content (16 - 18%),
• well-balanced composition of essential amino acids,
• high content of calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron and phosphorus,
• relatively high fiber content (5 - 25%),
• increased folate content,
• tolerance to drought and to high temperatures,
• possibility of cultivation also in arid and semiarid conditions,
• ability to grow also in poorer soils that are not suitable for cereal crops,
• high adaptability to altitude. - Stage of Development
