Bajra‐based functional laddu—Standardization, nutritional profiling, molecular characterization
Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.Abstract The bajra laddu experimental formulations consisted of composite flour containing varying proportions of bajra flour and gram flours viz, T0‐0:100, T1‐25:75, T2‐50:50, T3‐75:25, and T4‐100:0, respectively. The sensory acceptability of the standardized product was assessed by semitrained panelists using a nine‐point hedonic scale, which ...

Pearl millet seed pelleting [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Sementes, 2011 The pearl millet seed is small and its size varies, making sowing more difficult. The pelleting technique increases and homogenizes seed size, but it is essential to determine the physical and physiological characteristics of pelleted seeds. The physiological analysis consisted of: first germination count, final germination, speed emergence index, and ...
