Interest in gluten-free grains is increasing, together with major incidences of celiac disease in the last years. Since to date, knowledge of the nutritional and bioactive compounds profile of alternative gluten-free grains is limited, we evaluated the content of water-soluble (thiamine and riboflavin) and liposoluble vitamins, such as carotenoids and tocols (tocopherols and tocotrienols), of gluten-free minor cereals and also of pseudocereals. The analysed samples showed a high content of bioactive compounds; in particular, amaranth, cañihua and quinoa are good sources of vitamin E, while millet, sorghum and teff (Eragrostis tef, or William's Lovegrass) are good sources of thiamine. Moreover, millet provides a fair amount of carotenoids, and in particular of lutein. These data can provide more information on bioactive compounds in gluten-free grains. The use of these grains can improve the nutritional quality of gluten-free cereal-based products, and could avoid the monotony of the celiac diet.
近年来，人们对无麸质谷物的兴趣日益增加，同时乳糜泻的发病率也居高不下。由于迄今为止，关于替代无麸质谷物的营养和生物活性化合物概况的知识有限，我们评估了无麸质小谷物以及假谷物中的水溶性维生素（硫胺素和核黄素）和脂溶性维生素（如类胡萝卜素和生育三烯酚）的含量。分析的样本显示出高含量的生物活性化合物；特别是，苋菜、卡尼华和藜麦是维生素E的良好来源，而小米、高粱和画眉草是硫胺素的良好来源。此外，小米提供了相当数量的类胡萝卜素，尤其是叶黄素。这些数据可以提供更多关于无麸质谷物中生物活性化合物的信息。使用这些谷物可以提高无麸质谷物制品的营养质量，并可以避免乳糜泻饮食的单调。
