Bioavailability through lactic fermentation in millet for combating hidden hunger
Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.Millets are nutrient‐rich grains with considerable potential to combat hidden hunger, but the presence of anti‐nutritional factors, can restrict mineral bioavailability. Processing strategies including soaking, germination, cooking, and lactic acid fermentation can reduce the anti‐nutritional factors.
