Author(s): A Sangeeta and R Jaganmohan
Abstract: Millets are considered as under-utilized crops compared with other cereal grains but the year 2018 has been declared as the year of millets after understanding their importance as they are crops that has tendency to fulfill the requirements if the future generations. It possesses unique inherent characteristics of adaptation that makes them sustain harsh climatic changes tolerance which includes resistance to drought, high temperatures, low soil fertility and diseases or pests or for making special foods or beverages because of which they are gaining more attention in the recent years as an alternative to the cereal grains. Millets possess phytochemicals that has capacity to prevent or reduce several diseases thereby imparting several health benefits upon consumption; helps in delaying occurrence of non-communicable diseases. So facing the climatic changes along with maintaining or improving the health of its nation is the major concern which can be counteracted with the help of “nutri-cereals” which possess unique characteristics with which it can sustain the dramatic climatic changes that is happening or will happen in the future where other fine cereals like paddy and wheat would fail to survive. The present work analyses the effect on pasting properties of millet grains which has given different hydrothermal treatments.
