๐ฅMillets crop and their local names
๐พMillets are C4 Carbon sequestering crops contributing to the reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere besides being water efficient.
๐จMillets contain several bio-active phytochemicals including feraxans, lignans, beta-glucans, insulin, resistant starch, sterols, and phenolic conpounds (e.g., ferulic acid, caffeic acid and quercetin)
๐ฆ Fermentation of millets using various cultures promotes the growth of gram-negative bacteria that makes millets an effective probiotic food in the gut

๐จ The two most important techniques are germination and pro-biotic fermentation.
๐ตGermination is a method to improve the nutritional value of millets and aoften the structure of the kernel and decrease anti-nutritional factors like tannin and phytic acid....Germination leads to the activation of enzyme phytase which further reduces phytate to phytic acid.
๐This process increases the bio-availability of various minerals in the body and results in the improved nutritional value of millets.
๐ตFermentation too improves the bio-availability of nutrients by decreasing the phytic acid, trypsin inhibitor activity and tannic acid content.

๐ฉThe majority of millet is produced in Africa, followed by Asia.
๐ฎ๐ณIndia is the largest producer of millets, followed by Niger and China
๐ตOther major-millet producing countries include Burkina Faso, Mali, and Senegal
๐While millet is not a major food crop in the developed world, it plays a vital role in the diets of many people in developing world/countries

๐ฉ Millets Grain๐พconstitute three major constituents:
๐millet grain-the germ
๐the starch-containing endosperm
๐the protective pericarp
๐ฉMillets Procesing:
โข traditional techniques that are commonly used include decortication, malting, fermentation, roasting, flaking and pounding. These methods are mostly labor-intensive and give a poor-quality product
๐Read above the processing methods and their significance

๐ตValue Addition in food processing has a high degree of interdependence with forward and backward linkages and hence can play an important role in accelerating economic development
๐ตPrimary and Secondary processing have been developed and fine -tuned using specialised equipment to prepare good quality millet.
๐ตProcessing interventions are continuing to include all millets to target niche markets as well as for mass marketing at the national level
