Abstract
Three pearl millet cultivars: Shanti (RHRBH 9808), Dhanshakti (ICTP 8203 Fe10-2) and Pioneer 86M64 were used in this study. Investigations showed that pearl millet contained 11.21-12.43 % moisture, 2.05-2.72 % ash, 5.14-5.96 % fat, 10.97-11.65 % protein, 2.07-2.63 % crude fibre and 66.49-68.85 % carbohydrates. Pearl millet was found to be rich in minerals. Mineral contents in pearl millet varied from 40.07-42.67 mg/100g calcium, 255.67- 327.82 mg/100g phosphorus and 5.08-8.12 mg/100g iron. The phytic acid, tannin and polyphenol contents varied from 566.67-618.85 mg/100g, 225.68-232.71 mg/100g and 403.59-445.38 mg/100g respectively. the colour values of pearl millet varied among the cultivars.
