“…India is the leading producer of millets, which refer to a common group of small-seeded annual grasses belonging to the family Poaceae. 9 The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported that India produces around 35.7% of the worldwide millet production. 10 Various millets, such as pearl millet, finger millet, foxtail millet, proso millet, barnyard millet, little millet, kodo millet, etc., are consumed worldwide because of their nutraceutical potential.…”

As a result of veganism and the lactose-intolerant population, the demand for plant-based milk and milk products is increasing. Researchers across the globe are working on developing various plant-based milk products as they compensate for the lack of protein, starch, and other nutrients. Millets are a significant source of nutrients and a potential source of plant-based milk. The present study investigated the impact of soaking and germination on the physicochemical, proximate, adsorptive, antioxidant, antinutrient, and sensory aspects of different millet milks. The study observed an increase in phenolic activity and antioxidant activity after germination by 92 ± 1.99 and 33.42 ± 0.55%, respectively. The amalgamation of sonication with germination reduced the average antinutrient concentration to 23.31 ± 0.36%. This study concludes that combining both techniques enhances millet milk’s functional properties. In the future, it can be a potential processing technique to get nutritious millet milk.

“…Awareness of PFAS contamination, their magnitude, and potential impacts are still underdeveloped within both government agencies and general populations in Asia [35]. However, a single study focused on culinary preferences in India found 61.9% of the surveyed respondents were not aware of PFAS presence in non-stick cookware and intention to use non-stick cookware declined after information was given about the potential leaching of PFAS from this source [36].…”

The presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in U.S. drinking water has recently garnered significant attention from the media, federal government, and public health professionals. While concerns for PFAS exposure continue to mount, the general public’s awareness and knowledge of the contaminant has remained unknown. This exploratory study sought to fill this data gap by administering a nationwide survey in which the awareness of PFAS and community contamination, awareness of PFAS containing products and intentions to change product use, and awareness and concern about PFAS in drinking water were assessed. The results indicated that almost half the respondents had never heard of PFAS and do not know what it is (45.1%). Additionally, 31.6% responded that they had heard of PFAS but do not know what it is. A large portion of respondents (97.4%) also responded that they did not believe their drinking water had been impacted by PFAS. Demographic association did not influence knowledge of PFAS or levels of concern with PFAS in drinking water. The strongest predictor of PFAS awareness was awareness due to known community exposure. The respondents aware of community exposure were more likely to have knowledge of PFAS sources, change their use of items with potential PFAS contamination, and answer that their drinking water sources were also contaminated with PFAS. Based on the received responses, PFAS information and health risks need to be better communicated to the public to help increase awareness. These efforts should also be coordinated between government agencies, utilities, the research community, and other responsible entities to bolster their effectiveness.
