“…Millet grains are reported to have high antioxidant activity, anti-aging, anti-microbial, anti-diabetic, and anticancer properties (Saleh et al., 2013). The pearl millet grains are rich in gallic acid, syringic acid, p -coumaric acid, ascorbic acid, and ferulic acid and their bioactive properties could be improved by fermentation process (Kaur et al., 2019; Purewal et al., 2019). In 2011, 46% of pearl millet produced was used for food, 37.5% for cattle feed, 7.7% for poultry feed, 8.8% for alcohol industry, and as low as 0.4% for seed purpose (Amarender Reddy et al, 2013).…”
