Abstract:

Millets are a nutrient-rich staple meal for the world's poor, and increasing the nutrient bioavailability is one of the key strategies for promoting their use. To enhance the edible, nutritive, and sensory qualities of millets, they are often prepared using conventional processing methods. Thus an attempt was made with an objective to assess the physical and functional properties of sprouted and unsprouted millets and to observe the acceptability of the laddu prepared from sprouted and unsprouted millets. Physical and functional properties for both sprouted and unsprouted grain and flour were

Abstract:

Millets are primitive grains that were majorly cultivated in Indian subcontinent from ancient times. These are small seeded categorized as major and minor millets. Millets are resilient to adverse effects of climate change. They are regarded as "nutri-cereal" due to their high nutritional value compared to rice, wheat, and corn. Starch is the major nutritional constituent of millets with average content ranging from 55% to 61% in different millets. The application of millets depends on the physicochemical, structural, and functional properties of their starch. Millet starch is majorly isolated

Abstract:

Millet bran is a by-product obtained during the processing of millet and is packed with a variety of nutrients. It is made up of the outer layer, seed coat, aleurone layer, a small part of the embryo, and the endosperm [1]. It makes up about 6–8% of millet's total weight [2]. This by-product is typically thrown away during the milling and refining of cereal grains due to its appearance, taste, and ability to extend shelf life [3]. It contains bioactive elements such as fibers, lipids, proteins, and minerals [4]. Additionally, millet bran is higher in vitamins B, C, and E compared to the kernel

Proso and foxtail millets are widely cultivated due to their excellent resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses and high nutritional value. Starch is the most important component of millet kernels. Starches with different amylose contents have different physicochemical properties. In this study, starches in proso (non-waxy and waxy) and foxtail millets (non-waxy and waxy) were isolated and investigated. All the starch granules had regular polygonal round shapes and exhibited typical “Maltese crosses”. These four starches all showed bimodal size distribution. The waxy proso and foxtail millets

With changing food habits, increasing population, and uncontrolled use of natural resources, providing nutritious food to all is challenging.
