AB Quinoa is a pseudo-cereal employed to provide nutrition and sustenance for a long time.Currently, the consumption of seeds of this plant is increasing. The seed are the only nutritionallypart, which implies that both the husks like the rest of biomass represent a residue vaguelystudied. Authors had studied the thermal behavior of these quinoa inedible parts. Fuelproperties, biomass composition and DTG profiles were done for an oxidative atmosphere underdifferent heating rates in the same way that several characteristic combustion indexes wereestimated. Also, DTG profiles for a non-oxidative environment together with thecharacterization of the char obtained were showed. Results denoted that quinoa biomasspresented a more suitable nature for combustion process compared with the husks.Furthermore, combustion DTG profiles showed two different stages: devolatilization andignition. The maximum combustion weight loss value (20.63 %/min) was achieved for biomassunder a 40 K/min rate. DTG profiles under inert atmosphere evidenced two weight loss stagesclearly influenced by the cellulose and lignin content. Once again, biomass was the one with thebetter behavior instead of the husk for this pyrolysis process. Biomass which had good values interms of yield (26.02 %) and heating value (15.41 MJ/kg).
