Antioxidants and Nutritional Potential of Enriched Millet Based Composite Flour Using Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis)
REFNo: A432ES

The objectives will be to; 1. determine the proximate composition (moisture content, ash content, fiber content and protein content) in non-germinated and germinated millet flours of eight selected local millet varieties (Ekwangapel, Ekaama, Emoro moru, Ayuku manyige, Odyera, Min bel, Luk caa and Adyang adyang). 2. determine the concentration of minerals (zinc, calcium, magnesium and iron) in non-germinated and germinated millet flours of eight selected local millet varieties (Ekwangapel, Ekaama, Emoro moru, Ayuku manyige, Odyera, Min bel, Luk caa and Adyang adyang). 3. determine the concentration of anti-nutritional factors (oxalates, tannins and Phytates) in non-germinated and germinated millet flours of eight selected local millet varieties (Ekwangapel, Ekaama, Emoro moru, Ayuku manyige, Odyera, Min bel, Luk caa and Adyang adyang). 4. determine the antioxidant potential (Beta carotene) in spirulina powder and germinated millet composite flours of three selected local millet superiors. 5. determine the consumer acceptability of the spirulina millet-based product (porridge) of three selected local millet superiors.
