Abstract

Yield and composition of the milling fractions of sorghum, pearl millet and finger millet malts were determined. Yields of the refined flour from sorghum, pearl millet and finger millet were 86, 85 and 78%, respectively, and their protein and crude fibre contents were 10.4, 15.5 and 4.5% and 1.2, 1.0 and 1.8%, respectively. The lysine content of finger millet malt flour protein (3.4%) was higher than that of pearl millet malt (2.16%) and sorghum malt (1.45%) flour proteins. The bran fraction of pearl millet was a rich source of protein (23.1%) and fat (9.3%).
