Abstract

Millet is a Poaceae family plant that is widely farmed. Millet has a lot of antioxidants and is a wonderful source of minerals like fibre, iron, calcium, protein, zinc, and magnesium. It contains a number of intriguing bioactive components and has health-promoting characteristics. Foxtail millet is high in important amino acids, fatty acids, and minerals, and it is one of the most digestible and non-allergenic grains available, making it vital to human health. Millet is beneficial to cancer patients, cardiac patients, anaemia, and celiac disease sufferers. Millet is non-toxic and safe to consume at ordinary doses on a daily basis. Finger millet flour has numerous health benefits, including weight loss, bone health, decreasing blood cholesterol, anaemia, and other health issues. Finger millet is high in calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Because of its functional components, such as slowly digesting starch and resistant starch, finger millet has gained relevance as the use of processed products has changed and consumers have become more aware of the health benefits. It demonstrated a wide range of health benefits and biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-hypertensive, and anti-tumor properties. Antidiabetic, hypolipidemic, and other properties. Pearl millet is a good source of energy, protein, vitamins, dietary fibers and minerals. It is high in fat and better fat digestibility than other cereals. This is also high in unsaturated fatty acids with higher content of nutritionally important n-3 fatty acid. Among all the millets, pearl millet has highest content of macronutrients and significantly rich in resistant starch, soluble and insoluble dietary fibers The nutrient analysis of millet in this study reveals the presence of elements such as glucose, protein, fat, and crude fibre. Total Antioxidant Activity was measured in millet to determine its activity. Millet phytochemistry reveals the presence of phenol, tannin, flavanoids, alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids, quinones, and fatty acid. Foxtail millet, small millet, finger millet, pearl millet, and proso millet were made from pappad, and sensory evaluation of the created products was performed by 25 panel members using a score card
