Abstract

Jowar {Sorghum vulgare), bread wheat and jave wheat {Triticum dicoccum) were pearled by incipient wetting with 3-5 per cent moisture, equilibration for 5-10 minutes followed by polishing in a rice mill. 10 per cent polishing for sorghum and 5-6 per cent polishing for bread and jave wheats represented an optimal stage of polishing with maximum removal of bran and minimum loss of nutrients. The polished samples made into flour showed improved qualities for culinary use. Polished wheat could also be cooked in the form of whole grains.
