Abstract

Various abrasive devices used in conventional grain milling machinery were tried for continuous, large scale pearling (de-branning) of sorghum (jowar). A commercial Dandekar type rice mill satisfactorily removed husk and bran from sorghum moistened with 3-5 per cent water and conditioned for 5 to 15 min. The pearled jowar was attractive in appearance, had low fibre content and nutrient loss during refining was low. Bhakris (dry pan cakes) from pearled jowar flour were more acceptable than those made from whole meal flour. Jowar semolina (soji) of mesh size (—30 to +44 BSS) could be utilised for preparation of sweet and savoury dishes.
