“…According to [5], the oleic acid C18 : 1 has a major role in the starch hydrolysis and in the hypoglycemic properties of millet. Consequently, oat and millet oils may be used as a new oil source due to the presence of numerous essential and unsaturated fatty acids and can play a significant role in the hyper-glycemic diet [30].…”

Cereals constitute a major source of human and animal nutrition. In spite of the extensive production of numerous cereal species, some information is unavailable in terms of lipid composition. Due to the oil increasing demand by the overgrowth of the world population, oleaginous species have encountered problems in recent years. In order to find new sources of edible oil, the aim of this study was to describe the importance of seventeen varieties oil of seven cereal species. Oils were extracted by the Soxhlet method, and fatty acids were measured by gas chromatography. The present study demonstrated that the lipid content of cereal seeds ranged from 1.42% to 5.97%. In average, oat, millet, and maize had significantly higher lipid content, respectively, 5.97%, 5.06%, and 4.71%. The main fatty acid recorded in the studied cereal species, except oat, was linoleic acid C18 : 2 (ω6). Regarding the essential fatty acids linoleic acid C18 : 2 and linolenic acid C18 : 3 (ω3), the oil of all studied species, except oat, was rich in ω6 fatty acids (47.50 to 60.13%) and poor in ω3 (0.45% to 5.33%). The content of unsaturated fatty acids in all studied species ranged from 77.22 to 81.89%. Cereal oil was considered as highly unsaturated oil with the presence of the essential fatty acids necessary for human health. Therefore, cereal oils could be commercialized in small quantities in pharmacies or parapharmacies.

“…The fat content of millets ranges between 1% and 6%, and certain varieties may have higher proportions which may also sometimes compromise their shelf stability. Slama et al, (2019) reported 5.06% total lipid content in pearl millet and found 77.22% of oil as mono‐ or polyunsaturated fat. They further reported that extracted oil was rich in linoleic acid (47.5%) but had lower linolenic acid (2.15%).…”

Millets are sustainable drought-resistant crops capable of surviving a wide range of climatic conditions. They are small-seeded grains rich in proteins, minerals and bioactive compounds inducing several health benefits and provide protection against chronic and degenerative modern lifestyle disorders. Hypoglycaemic profile and bioactive composition are the key elements for the popularity of millets as functional ingredients for the development of novel food products of commercial importance. Despite numerous health benefits and agro-economic potential, millets have lost their popularity due to coarse nature and are underutilised in developed countries. Food scientists and nutritionists are characterising and valorising millets to enhance their use for food applications. The present article reviews research investigations about nutritional composition (macro-and micro-nutrients), biologically active components (phenolic acid, flavonoids, phytosterols and related antioxidant potential) and techno-functionality of millets. Pharmacological impact and their utilisation in value-added products have also been included.

“…The protein content of pearl millet, although variable, is higher than corn [12,13] and the essential amino acid profile is more balanced than corn [14,13]. Pearl millet is a superior source of antioxidant [15], and also has higher oil content than other common cereal grains [13,16] and is a better source of linolenic acid [16]. The metabolizable energy of pearl millet is equal [3] or marginally lower than maize, and comparable with common cereals.…”

Pearl millet, which is comparable to maize in terms of its metabolizable energy content is an identified potential replacement for maize in broiler diets. However, as the competition and price of maize continues to spike, the continuous need to completely replace maize in broiler diets is imperative. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of feeding diets containing pearl millet supplemented with enzyme NatuzymeTM on the carcass characteristics and haematological values of broiler chickens. 150 two weeks-old broilers were randomly divided into 5 groups with 10 birds per pen translating into 10 birds per replicate and fed an isonitrogenous (23%CP) starter diet of control diet (A); 0% (B); 10% (C); 20% (D); 30.01% and (E) 37.41 % pearl millet. Similarly, an isonitrogenous (21%CP) finisher diet of control diet (A); 0% (B); 10.64% pearl millet (C); 21.28% (D); 31.92% and (E) 39.27 % of pearl millet for 6 weeks. The birds were randomly allotted to the diets in a completely randomized design with feed and water given ad libitum. With the exception of drumstick of birds fed diet D which was significantly lower than the other diets, the results showed that the carcass values (parameters) of broilers fed 100% pearl millet were similar or non-superior to the control group and the other diets. Similarly, blood parameters were not significantly different between groups. These results show that pearl millet supplemented with enzyme can replace maize in broiler diets without affecting carcass yields and haematological parameters.
