“…Finger millet contains protein (5-8%), fat (1-2%), and carbohydrates (65-75%) (Chethan and Malleshi 2007; Nakarani et al 2020). It has the highest calcium content among cereals (344 mg/100 g).…”

“…The total dietary fibre (22%) of finger millet grains were reported to be relatively higher than that of wheat (12.6%), rice (4.6%), maize and sorghum (12.8%) (Siwela, et al 2010;Ambre et al 2020). Finger millet is the best source of micronutrients such as iron, phosphorus, zinc and potassium and were reported to be higher than that of rice and equal to that of wheat (Nakarani et al 2020;Ambre et al 2020). However, finger millet is limiting in lysine which is found abundance in fruit such as watermelon (Anitha et al 2020).…”

Extruded breakfast meal from malted finger millet (Eleusine coracana) and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) seed flour: in-vivo nutritional qualities study

et al. 2021

Background The study aimed at evaluating the in-vivo nutritional qualities of extruded breakfast meal produced from flour blends of malted finger millet and watermelon seed. Results The proximate compositions of the flour blends revealed that there was progressive increase in protein (12.83–15.14) %, with increase in the watermelon substitution. The protein quality evaluation of the extrudate showed that the protein efficiency ratio ranged from 0.64 to 89.75, while the biological values were between (87.82–89.75)%. The relative organs weight of rats fed with extruded breakfast meal showed that, the weights of the kidney and liver of rats fed with extruded breakfast meal were significantly lower compared with rats fed with goldenmorn. The hematological indices showed that the packed cell volume and the red blood cell counts of rats fed with the formulated diets were significantly lower compared with those fed with goldenmorn but significantly higher than rats fed with basal. Meanwhile, the values of the white blood cells count for the formulated diet shows no significant difference compared with rats fed with goldenmorn. Conclusions Evidently, the growth performance of the rats fed with the extruded breakfast meal revealed that the formulated diets promote growth status of the animals with relatively low effect on organs of experimental rat used in this study. Hence, formulated diet may serve as alternative to expensive commercial breakfast meal.

“…The protein profile of millets shows that they contain higher amounts of methionine and other essential amino acids [ 15 , 16 ]. Few studies also reported that millets are rich in micronutrients and phytochemicals [ 17 , 18 , 19 ] that have health benefits. For example, antioxidant enzymes, insoluble and soluble dietary fibers, and resistant starch are abundantly found in pearl millet [ 15 , 17 , 18 , 19 ].…”

Foxtail millet is used as a supplementary source of protein for other cereals because of the presence of the essential amino acid lysine [ 15 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Finger millet is rich in polyphenols and other essential phytochemicals [ 15 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ], and it has a high amount of calcium, methionine, tryptophan, fiber, and sulfur-containing amino acids [ 21 ].…”

Millets are important cereal crops cultivated in arid and semiarid regions of the world, particularly Africa and southeast Asia. Climate change has triggered multiple abiotic stresses in plants that are the main causes of crop loss worldwide, reducing average yield for most crops by more than 50%. Although millets are tolerant to most abiotic stresses including drought and high temperatures, further improvement is needed to make them more resilient to unprecedented effects of climate change and associated environmental stresses. Incorporation of stress tolerance traits in millets will improve their productivity in marginal environments and will help in overcoming future food shortage due to climate change. Recentlly, approaches such as application of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) have been used to improve growth and development, as well as stress tolerance of crops. Moreover, with the advance of next-generation sequencing technology, genome editing, using the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR/Cas9) system are increasingly used to develop stress tolerant varieties in different crops. In this paper, the innate ability of millets to tolerate abiotic stresses and alternative approaches to boost stress resistance were thoroughly reviewed. Moreover, several stress-resistant genes were identified in related monocots such as rice (Oryza sativa), wheat (Triticum aestivum), and maize (Zea mays), and other related species for which orthologs in millets could be manipulated by CRISPR/Cas9 and related genome-editing techniques to improve stress resilience and productivity. These cutting-edge alternative strategies are expected to bring this group of orphan crops at the forefront of scientific research for their potential contribution to global food security.
