S. Kumari et S. Srivastava, Nutritive value of malted flours of finger millet genotypes and their use in the preparation of Burfi, J FD SCI M, 37(4), 2000, pp. 419-422
Five finger millet genotypes viz., 'PES-400', 'PES-176', 'PES-110', 'PRES-4
' and 'PRES-5' were malted. Malting of finger millet resulted in significan
t changes in nutrient composition, neutral detergent fibre, crude fat and v
itamin C. Calcium, iron, zinc and vitamin C ranged from 516.00 to 596.00, 8
.26 to 15.10. 1.66 to 2.22 and 5.08 to 8.74 mg/100 g. respectively in malte
d flour of finger miller genotypes. Results of sensory evaluation of burfi
prepared from malted finger millet flour showed that the overall acceptabil
ity scores of all the genotypes ranged from fair to good as rated by the pa
nelists.
