History of millets
– Domesticated in India and Africa,
– domestication dates back to 4000 BC
West Africa
– Fossilized Kodo millet Found in
Harappan civilization
– Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.)
probably originated in southern Asia
and is the oldest of the cultivated
millets.
– In China, records of culture for foxtail
and proso millet extend back to 2000 to
1000 BC
Millets: Nutri- cereals
 Small seeded cereal grass (poaceae family)
 Grown in semi- arid tropics of Asia and Africa
 Food and feed use
 97% of the global millet production and seed demand comes
from the developing countries.
 Pearl millet is the most cultivated millet, grown predominantly in
India and parts of Africa
 The US, the largest exporter, exports to mainly Canada,
Indonesia, Malaysia, and Mexico

“Nutritional Quality &HealthBenefitsofMillets”
Why Millets?
Nutrient composition of millets and other cereals
(per 100 g edible portion; 12% moisture)
Nutritional Quality of millets
Essential Amino acid profile of Millets compared to fine cereals
(mg/g of N).
Generally, millets show significant amounts of amino acids
(methionine and cysteine) and also have high fat content than
maize, rice, and sorghum
Micronutrient Profile of Millets compared to fine cereals (mg/100g).
Fatty acid composition of millets compared to fine cereals.
Health Benefits of Millets
Disease Functional Factor Mechanism of action
PEM Optimum carbohydrate
and high quality protein
Sustainable crop option in arid and semi-arid
regions
Micronutrie
nt
deficiencies
High content of Iron, iodine,
zinc, calcium,
magnesium and other
micronutrients compared to
other cereals
• Inclusion of millets in diet
• Bio-fortification of staple cereals
Obesity Dietary fibre  Controls release of carbohydrates
 Soluble fibre leads to highly viscous
intestinal contents that possess gelling
properties and could delay the intestinal
absorption of carbohydrates
 Low glycemic index
Diabetes  Dietary fibre
 Protein concentrates rich in
antioxidants
 Slow glucose release and low glycaemic
load
 Seed coat phenolics act as inhibitors which
decrease postprandial hyperglycaemia by
blocking the action of complex carbohydrate
hydrolyzing enzymes (amylase,
alphaglucosidase); increase in adinopectin
concentration may improve insulin sensitivity
Disease Functional Factor Mechanism of action
Cardiovasc
ular
diseases
• Protein concentrate of foxtail
millet
• Administration of proso/
foxtail millet
• Phenolic extracts from seven
millet varieties (kodo, finger
proso, foxtail, little and pearl
millet
• Elevated levels of adinopectin which protects
cardiovascular tissues by:
(1) Inhibition of pro-inflammatory and
hypertrophic response
(2) Stimulation of endothelial cell responses
• Reducing plasma triglycerides, LDL through
improved cholesterol metabolism
• Lower C reactive protein: a marker of
inflammation and a stronger predictor of
cardiovascular events in clinical applications
• Kodo millet exhibited higher inhibition to lipid
peroxidation, analogous to butylated
hydroxyanisole at 200 ppm
Coeliac
Disease
Protein of all millets • Absence of gluten in millet protein prevents
coeliac disease and related complications
Disease Functional Factor Mechanism of action
Cancer • Phenolic extracts from
seven millet varieties
(kodo, finger proso, foxtail,
little and pearl millet
• 35 kDa protein FMBP
extracted from foxtail millet
bran extract
• Inhibition of lipid peroxidation in liposomes,
singlet oxygen quenching and inhibition of DNA
scission
• Millet extracts inhibited H-29 cell proliferation in
the range of 28–100% after 4 days of
administration
• FMBP, homologous to peroxidase suppress
colon cancer cell growth through:
(1) Induction of G1 phase arrest
(2) Loss of mitochondrial trans-membrane
potential resulting in caspase-dependent
apoptosis in colon cancer cells
Inflammatio
n and
wound
healing
• Antioxidants:
50 g of finger millet per
100 g feed in diabetic and
non-diabetic rats
• Administration of proso/
foxtail millet
• Enhances dermal wound healing process in
diabetes with oxidative stress-mediated
modulation of inflammation
• Lower C reactive protein
Ageing • Antioxidant
• Methanolic extract of finger
millet
• Inhibit glycation and cross-linking of collagen
• Scavange free radicals in protection against
ageing
Disease Functional Factor Mechanism of action
Anti-
microbial
activity
• Protein extracts,
polyphenols
• Seed coat phenolic extract
• Anti-fungal and antibacterial activity: active
against Bacillus cereus, Aspergillus niger
• Loss of fungal functionality by:
(1) Oxidation of microbial membranes and cell
components by the free radicals
(2) Inactivation of enzymes due to irreversible
complex formation with nucleophilic amino acids
(3) Complex formation of phenolic compounds
with biopolymers such as proteins,
polysaccharides and metal ions making them
unavailable to micro-organisms
Ocular
diseases
and
disorders
Polyphenols, flavanoids:
Wistar rats maintained on
5% finger millet seed
coat matter (SCM) for 6
weeks
(1) Direct scavenging of reactive oxygen species
(ROS), anti-apoptotic activity, and phase 2
induction
(2) Inhibiting nitric oxide (NO) production
(3) Inhibiting certain enzymes responsible for the
production of superoxide anions (xanthine oxidase
and protein kinase C)
(4) Prevents the accumulation of sorbitol by
inhibiting aldose reductase by non-competitive
inhibition and reduce the risk of diabetes-induced
cataract diseases

What is the glycemic index?
Glycemic Index (GI)
Low is good. High is bad. But what exactly is the glycemic
index?
The glycemic index is a scale that assigns a number to every
food. It is used to indicate how fast and how high a particular
food can raise our blood glucose (blood sugar) level.
Low 0 – 55
Moderate 56 – 69
High 70 or more
Status, Scope and challenges in Millet processing
Glycemic Index (GI): Protocol
1. 25 or 50 grams carbohydrate of test food.
2. Blood samples taken:
1st hour: every 15 minutes
2nd hour: every 30 minutes
3rd hour: every 30 minutes*
3. Values plotted; AUC calculated.
4. Test food response compared to reference food response.
5. Average GI of 8-10 volunteers = GI of test food.
* DM volunteers only.
Hypoglycemic property of millet
Factors contributing to the
hypoglycemic properties of millet and
millet based foods
Effects of starch characteristics on
millet starch hydrolysis
Effects of lipids on millet starch

Finger millet Pearl millet
Pores
No Pores
polygonal
 The inverse relationship between
amylose and glycemic index is
known
 millet starch architecture has also
been mentioned as one of the
reasons for their hypoglycemic
property. (Polygonal and
Spherical)
 presence of these pores on the
millet starch granules facilitate the
entry of starch hydrolyzing
enzymes into the starch granules
starch hydrolysis index of these millets
finger millet < pearl millet < Proso < foxtail.
Effects of lipids on millet starch hydrolysis
Starch-lipid complexes influence the susceptibility of starch to starch
degrading enzymes, resulting in slower digestion
Effects of protein on millet starch hydrolysis
Protein fractions such as albumins, globulins and glutenins, combine protein
bodies into a matrix surrounding starch granules, which acts as a barrier to
amylases
Effects of fiber on millet starch hydrolysis
Fibers reduce enzymatic starch hydrolysis rates by increasing the viscosity of
the digestion mixture.
Polyphenols interact with amylase proteins and thus inhibit starch hydrolytic
enzymes

Anti-nutrients in Millets
• Anti-nutritional factors may be grouped according to their mode of action as
follows;
1. Substances depressing digestion or metabolic utilisation of protein e.g. protease
inhibitors, lectins (haemagglutinins), saponins and polyphenolic compounds
2. Substances reducing or interfering with the utilisation of mineral elements e.g.
Phytic acid, oxalic acids, gluccosinolates and gossypol
3. Substances inactivating or increasing the requirements of certain vitamins e.g.
Anti-vitamins A, D, E and K, antithiamine, nicotinic acid, pyridoxine and
cyanocobalamin.

Issues related to the use of Millet:
 Millets contains certain anti- nutritional
factors such as Phytate, trypsin inhibitors,
Oxalates, Phenols like condensed tannins and
Hydrogen cyanide (HCN)
 Presence of pigments and thick pericarp
results in poor color and poor mouthfeel in
developed products
 High lipase activity in pearl millet
 Non- availability and short shelf- life of
primary processed products such as grits,
flakes, semolina and flour.
 Stability of phytate in acidic environment
during wet cooking
 Insoluble complex of condensed tannins with
protein and other macromolecules limiting
the bioavailability of nutrients
 Lack of awareness on nutrition and
therapeutic potential of Millets
Treatments/ methods to reduce anti-nutrients and
enhance shelf life
– Debranning/decortication
– Soaking-cooking
– Sprouting
– Malting
– Fermentation (natural, forced)
– Dry heating (popping, puffing, roasting)
– Extrusion cooking
– Baking
– Microwave heating
– Steam flaking
– Hot water blanching and hot air drying
– Addition of antioxidants (butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene
and ascorbic acid
– Packaging
– Thermal treatments good for
arresting lipase activity
– Thermal treatments affect pasting
properties
– Fermentation has limited shelf life

(CIAE), Bhopal was established on 15th
February 1976 during the Vth Five Year Plan
on the recommendation of Task Force headed
by Dr. JS Kanwar with an aim to develop and
popularize technologies for mechanization of
Indian agriculture.
The Agro Produce Processing
Division conducts research and development
related to primary and secondary processing of
agricultural commodities such as cereals,
pulses, oilseeds, millets, fruits, vegetables,
medicinal plants etc. The activities aim at
reduction of post-harvest losses, value addition
and additional income generation to the
farmers. Training of stakeholders is also one of
the activities of the division.

Challenges in Millet Processing
Main underlying barriers limiting the production and
consumption of millets are
(1) Lower or near absence of production support,
(2) lack of reach of improved methods of production and
technologies,
(3) Lack of appropriate post-harvest processing technologies,
(4) Competition from other market friendly remunerative crops,
(5) Changes in preference patterns in consumption,
(6) Lack of public procurement and marketing support,
(7) Absence of public or private funded promotion.

A model of food consumption in India
Reference: Adekunle et al., 2018
doi:10.3390/agriculture8030044
Why Millets?
Reports of National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau (NNMB, 2006) indicated that
consumption of millets in general was higher in the states of Gujarat (maize, pearl
millet), Maharastra (sorghum), Karnataka (finger millet) but almost nil in the states of
Kerala, West Bengal, Orissa, and Tamil Nadu where rice forms the major staple. The
consumption of millets in Gujarat and Maharashtra (200 and 132 g/CU (consumption
unit is a coefficient and 1 CU corresponds to energy requirement of 2400 kcal/day of
an Indian male doing sedentary work) was higher compared to that of Karnataka (75
g/CU/day), Madhya Pradesh (32 g/CU/day), and Andhra Pradesh (16 g/CU/day).
Tamil Nadu (3 g/CU/day) and Orissa (1 g/CU/day) showed negligible amounts of
consumption.
Though Indians continue to consume cereals as the main staple providing 70–80%
of total energy intake in majority of Indian diets (Gopalan et al., 2009), the
consumption of millets is very low compared to rice and as evident by our recent
study on dietary profile of urban Indians (from the Chennai Urban Rural
Epidemiology Study (CURES)) which revealed that, the millets contributed to only
about 2% of total calories (6.7 g/d) (Radhika et al., 2011), while almost half of the
daily calories were derived from refined grains such as polished white rice (253.4
g/day) (Radhika et al., 2009).

Health benefits of Millets
 Hypolipidemic: Lowers bad cholesterol level, Helps to protect against heart diseases
 Low-glycemic index : Prevents type 2 diabetics
 Antioxidant characteristics (phenolic acids and glycated flavonoids): prevention against
degenerative diseases ( cancer, heart diseases): Prevents onsets of breast cancer, Helps
to optimize kidney, liver and immune system health,
 High crude fibre: Beneficial in detoxifying body, potential prebiotic and can enhance the
viability or functionality of probiotics
 Typical millet protein contains high quantity of essential amino acids especially the sulphur
containing amino acids (methionine and cysteine)
 Effective in reducing blood pressure
 Summary: Whole millet grains Anti-diabetic, anti-tumerogenic, atherosclerogenic effects,
antioxidant and antimicrobial properties

Non- Conventional food products
• Consumers do not view millets as a modern product
• Awareness of health benefits is limited to niche markets
• Lack of scientific information to substantiate any health claims about
millets
• Clear information about millets and the technologies
• Lack of grading and standards for millets
• Need for more food processing technologies specifically for each type of
millet
• Varieties especially suitable for processing qualities have to be
developed

(Polygonal and Spherical)  presence of these pores on the millet starch granules facilitate the entry of starch hydrolyzing enzymes into the starch granules starch hydrolysis index of these millets finger millet < pearl millet < Proso < foxtail.
  • 31. Effects of lipids on millet starch hydrolysis Starch-lipid complexes influence the susceptibility of starch to starch degrading enzymes, resulting in slower digestion Effects of protein on millet starch hydrolysis Protein fractions such as albumins, globulins and glutenins, combine protein bodies into a matrix surrounding starch granules, which acts as a barrier to amylases Effects of fiber on millet starch hydrolysis Fibers reduce enzymatic starch hydrolysis rates by increasing the viscosity of the digestion mixture. Polyphenols interact with amylase proteins and thus inhibit starch hydrolytic enzymes Effects of polyphenol on millet starch hydrolysis

  • 118. Reports of National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau (NNMB, 2006) indicated that consumption of millets in general was higher in the states of Gujarat (maize, pearl millet), Maharastra (sorghum), Karnataka (finger millet) but almost nil in the states of Kerala, West Bengal, Orissa, and Tamil Nadu where rice forms the major staple. The consumption of millets in Gujarat and Maharashtra (200 and 132 g/CU (consumption unit is a coefficient and 1 CU corresponds to energy requirement of 2400 kcal/day of an Indian male doing sedentary work) was higher compared to that of Karnataka (75 g/CU/day), Madhya Pradesh (32 g/CU/day), and Andhra Pradesh (16 g/CU/day). Tamil Nadu (3 g/CU/day) and Orissa (1 g/CU/day) showed negligible amounts of consumption. Though Indians continue to consume cereals as the main staple providing 70–80% of total energy intake in majority of Indian diets (Gopalan et al., 2009), the consumption of millets is very low compared to rice and as evident by our recent study on dietary profile of urban Indians (from the Chennai Urban Rural Epidemiology Study (CURES)) which revealed that, the millets contributed to only about 2% of total calories (6.7 g/d) (Radhika et al., 2011), while almost half of the daily calories were derived from refined grains such as polished white rice (253.4 g/day) (Radhika et al., 2009).
