Background: Poor shelf life and nutrient availability is a limiting factor in adoption of pearl millet. It can be addressed by indigenous processing like malting, blanching and roasting. This study delineates outcome of processing on protein, fat, ash, nutrient digestibility and storage stability of biofortified pearl millet varieties. Methods: Unprocessed, malted, blanched and roasted millet grains’ flour was analysed and compared for protein, fat, ash and nutrient digestibility. To assess storage stability, flours were stored at 25 ± 1°C at 40 ± 2% RH and fat acidity and per oxide values analysed at an interval of 10 days. Result: It was found that the protein and fat contents of flours decreased on processing. Blanched and roasted flours possessed more ash compared to malted flour. The amount of fat and ash in HC-20 was significantly more than that of Dhanshakti variety. Digestibilities of protein and starch, of processed flours improved significantly and maximum improvement was exhibited by malted flours followed by roasted and blanched. The fat acidity and peroxide value of stored flours increased and this increase was more in unprocessed compared to processed flours. The findings of this study can be useful for augmenting the nutritional and keeping quality of pearl millet.

Interest in digital image processing techniques dates back to the early 1920's, when digitized pictures of world news events were first transmitted by submarine cable between New York and London. Applications of digital image processing concepts, however, did not become widespread until the middle 1960's, when third-generation digital computers began to offer the speed and storage capabilities required for practical implementation of image processing algorithms. Since then, this area has experienced vigorous growth, having been a subject of interdisciplinary research in fields ranging from engineering and computer science to biology, chemistry, and medicine.
