Abstract

GARCIA-PARRA, Miguel Ángel  and  PLAZAS-LEGUIZAMON, Nubia Zoraida. Life-cycle analysis of the publications in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) production, by S-curve. Revista Investig. Desarro. Innov. [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.2, pp.379-391. ISSN 2027-8306.  https://doi.org/10.19053/20278306.v9.n2.2019.9189.

The objective of the study was to study the life-cycle of publications related to quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) production, by means of in S-curves. The bibliographical revision was made in the Scopus database. The analysis of the information systematized over time was done with S-curves that were built in the SigmaPlot® statistical program. The results indicate that the research focuses on the relationships between Chenopodium - stress, quinoa - stress, quinoa - physiology and quinoa - fat, being identified as strategic areas of research and technological development. In the same way, the study of quinoa presents significant advances in Europe and the United States, while in South America they have been developed mainly in Argentina and Chile. The above allows deducing the low scientific and research interest of producing and exporting countries of quinoa, such as: Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. The latter is an opportunity for the countries of origin of quinoa to establish lines of research and high-level training programs, aimed at strengthening quinoa as a promising food in the search for food security.

Keywords : quinoa; S-curves; vegetable protein; food security.
