“…This is coupled with a comparatively large germ proportion than cereals such as sorghum which contributes to its higher nutritive value (Satankar et al, 2020). The essential amino acids include higher content of leucine, isoleucine and lysine comparable to wheat and rye (Hulse et al, 1980;Rana and Dahiya, 2019). Furthermore, the crop is gluten-free, high in calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin A, riboflavin compared to other cereals Pearl Millet as a Sustainable Alternative Cereal for Novel Value-added Products in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Review (Table 1).…”

Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is an underutilized small grain, nutrient-rich cereal crop cultivated in the arid and semi-arid tropics of Asia and Africa. However, several barriers exist that preclude the full exploitation of the crop such as low yield, inadequate processing technologies, lack of extension support and limited productive varieties. Furthermore, anti-nutritional factors in the grain such as polyphenols reduce digestibility, palatability and bio-availability of other nutrients. Reduction or elimination of these anti-nutritional factors through pre-treatments like boiling, cooking, roasting, soaking improves the nutritional quality of the grain. Underutilized pearl millet genetic resources and processing has the potential to contribute towards sustainable agriculture particularly in drought prone and marginal areas of Africa. This review focuses on nutritional value, pearl millet cultivation and utilization challenges, processing and value addition interventions to improve crop adoption and productivity in sub-Saharan Africa.

“…Furthermore, competitively inhibit the growth and development of other microorganisms. As well, it has a protective effect against various diseases such as constipation, diverticular disease, large bowel cancer, diabetes, coronary heart disease and obesity and gall stones (Rana and Dahiya, 2019). On the other hand, the acidic environment produced by microbial fermentation of fibers inhibits the proliferation of some pathogenic bacteria…”

The intestinal microbes do not only provide nutrients for their host, but it also contributes to the maintenance of intestinal micro ecological balance, which are essential for ensuring a healthy development of the intestine, dietary fiber is one of the substrates for intestinal microbial fermentation. This can improve the structure of intestinal microflora and is of great significance in maintaining intestinal health. The research on the efficacy of dietary fiber on pig intestinal microbes and the factors affecting the intestinal microbial utilization of dietary fibre in pigs is reviewed, which provides a theoretical basis for further research on the production practice of dietary fiber addition in pig breeding industry. As well, a good digestive physiological environment is essential for pigs to benefit from the nutrients and to increase their productivity. Adding the appropriate amounts of fiber to pig diets plays an important role in regulating the digestive physiology of pig intestinal microflora, digestive tract pH, digestive juice secretion, digestive enzyme activity, digestive tract organs and their morphology. This article reviews the effects of dietary fiber on the digestive physiology of pigs.

“…Oxidative stress (OS) has been one of the main interests of the scientific community for centuries. During the cell metabolism mechanism, a series of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are synthesized, such as superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals (Rana and Dahiya, 2019). The imbalance between antioxidant defense system and ROS may lead to patho-biochemical mechanisms caused by the development of different degenerative diseases (Kaur et al 2019).…”

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the pod pea essential oil and to determine the potential use of this vegetable waste as a medium for lactic acid production by Lactobacillus plantarum. Methods: Antioxidant activity of the essential oil was determined by DPPH, iron reducing and lipid peroxidation methods. Pod pea syrup was obtained by addition of two litres of water at 80-85°C to 800 g of pod pea for 2 h. Other syrups were obtained under the same conditions by partially substituting 40 g of pod pea for the same amount of glucose, date and carob. Result: At a concentration of 1000 µg mL-1, the pod pea essential oil demonstrated good DPPH scavenging activity 89.30±1.4% as well as significant iron reducing. This oil is effective at inhibiting the lipid peroxidation. An important quantity of biomass (optical density of 1.55) and lactic acid 20.4 g L-1 were produced. The replacement of 20 g L-1 pod pea by the same quantity of glucose, date and carob improves the production of lactic acid.
