Abstract:
Millets are a group of small seeded species of cereal crops, widely grown around the world for food and fodder. They possess good nutritional properties and exhibit many health benefits. A study was undertaken with an objective to develop millet composite flour. Composite flour was developed by conducting 6 trials using ingredients like wheat, foxtail millet, finger millet, little millet, soy and fenugreek flour. Results revealed that Millet composite flour with 50 g of Wheat, 10g Foxtail millet, 20g Little millet, 10g Finger millet, 10g Soybean and 1g of Fenugreek seed was found to be the best formulation. This combination can be used in the preparation of various food products.
