Download or read book Manual of Laboratory Procedures for Quality Evaluation of Sorghum and Pearl Millet written by Manel I. Gomez and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual is for use by scientists and technicians who screen and evaluate varieties of sorghum and pearl millet for their grain quality. It is based on experience in agronomy and food technology acquired over several years in SADC/ICRISAT's Sorghum and Millet Improvement Program in Zimbabwe, hwre there is a focus on generalized screening methods for broad grain qualities rather than detailed component analysis of a molecular nature. Laboratory procedures, including qualitative and quantitative methods, were compiled from existing sources and modified in several ways for the Program's use. Quality parameters were focused on grain, on primary products such as flour, meal, and malt, and on such secondary products as baked flour, steamed flour, and porridge. The grain and these products were evaluated using physical and chemical methods, and a database was created to serve as an empirical reference document derived from field and laboratory results. The manual's first section, on grain-quality evaluation, describes rapid techniques for routine screening. The qualitative parameters used are: color, pericarp thickness, testa, endosperm texture, and hardness. Quantitative parameters comprise 100-kernel weight, Agtron readings, and moisture, floaters, dehulling loss, milling yield, size fractions, and water absorption expressed as percentages. Eight chemical methods of evaluation are described in the second section, among which only rapid tannin analysis forms part of routine screening tests. The last section (...).
Download or read book Plant Breeding Reviews Volume 35 written by Jules Janick and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-10-07 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant Breeding Reviews presents state-of-the-art reviews on plant genetics and the breeding of all types of crops by both traditional means and molecular methods. Many of the crops widely grown today stem from a very narrow genetic base; understanding and preserving crop genetic resources is vital to the security of food systems worldwide. The emphasis of the series is on methodology, a fundamental understanding of crop genetics, and applications to major crops. The series is sponsored by the American Society for Horticultural Science and appears in the form of one or two volumes per year.
Download or read book Millets and Millet Technology written by Anil Kumar and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-01 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millets are small-grained, annual, warm weather cereal. The millets offer both nutritional and livelihood security of human population and fodder security of diverse livestock population in dryland region of India. Millets are highly nutritious, they are known as health foods especially for control of diabetes and mineral deficiencies. One of the major factors for declining consumption of millets is the lack of awareness of their nutritive value and inconvenience of their preparation. This book covers both, chemistry and novel technology for millet processing and development. It summarizes the latest information on millets, their nutritional and health benefits, historical perspective, utilization, R&D efforts, present status and the importance being given by policy makers for promoting millets for sustainable agriculture and healthy society. The book is compiled by various experts keeping in view syllabi of different research institutions, researchers, students as well requirement of the industry. It will serve as instructional material for researchers in food science, microbiology, process engineering, biochemistry, biotechnology and reference material for those working in industry and R & D labs.

Download or read book Cereal Grains written by Colin Wrigley and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-27 with total page 832 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cereal Grains: Assessing and Managing Quality, Second Edition, provides a timely update to this key reference work. Thoroughly revised from the first edition, this volume examines the latest research and advances in the field. New chapters have been added on alternative grains, including ancient grains and pseudocereals, biosecurity, and industrial processing of grains, amongst others. Quality and food safety are important throughout the value-addition chain, from breeding, production, harvest, storage, transport, processing, and marketing. At all stages, analysis is needed so that quality management can proceed intelligently. These considerations are examined for each of the major cereal species, including wheat (common and durum), rye and triticale, barley and oats, rice, maize (corn), pseudocereal species, sorghum, and the millets. Divided into five sections, the book analyses these for the range of cereal species before a final section summarizes key findings. - Documents the latest research in cereal grains, from their nutraceutical and antioxidant traits, to novel detection methods - Provides a complete and thorough update to the first edition, analyzing the range of major cereal species - Presents detailed advice on the management of cereal quality at each stage of production and processing

Book excerpt: Both sorghum and pearl millet are staple food crops for the poor people in the semi-arid tropics (SAT). However, during the last two decades both crops are becoming less important as staple food crops in SAT countries. Demand for course cereals (such as sorghum and pearl millet) as human food is decreasing in many countries, due to increased production and availability of preferred cereals (such as rice and wheat) at subsidized prices. The poor farmers in rainfed SAT cannot grow other crops, and are economically impacted negatively, as they do not get reasonable price for their produce. However, possibilties of alternative uses of sorghum and pearl millet are creating new opportunities that have potential to increase market demand and income to farmers.
