“…[9] In a recent study by Shaikh et al, [9] chemically treated pearl millet starch added to white sauce, improved its sensorial properties and storage stability. Also, nano-based ball-milled pearl millet starch, functions as a stabilizer by Jhan et al [99] Pearl millet starch esterified with octenyl succinyl anhydride (OSA), can act as a fat replacer when incorporated in ice cream by Sharma et al [100] Similarly, octenyl succinylated pearl millet starch has the potential as a fat replacer in yoghurt by Sharma et al [70] Varied resistant starch (RS) content in millets, suggests its applications such as low RS content for weaning food whereas, high RS with higher viscosity and low retrogradation suitable for various applications. [4] However, utilization of millet starch is still less and the reasons could be the more availability of other sources (maize, cassava, and wheat), amylose content, lack of required functionality, and difficulty in processing due to small grain size.…”
