Abstract:Quinoa is a nutritionally rich non-grain seed that contains high levels of protein，amino acids，minerals，vitamins and other nutrients.It is considered by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization to be a monomer plant that can independently meet the basic nutritional needs of the human body.It can lower blood lipids and blood pressure，which is beneficial to patients with heart disease and hypertension.The flavonoids it contains can help prevent degenerative diseases，and contribute to quinoa's potential for use as a functional food.Brewing beer with healthful characteristics and functions has become a research hot topic，one avenue of which partially replaces raw materials and accessories for beer production with quinoa.In this review，the nutritional value and potential advantages of quinoa beer are reviewed，and the technologies of saccharification，fermentation，and capture of volatile flavor substances in beer are described to provide benchmarks for quinoa beer research.
