Abstract
The present study entitled ‘‘Bioavailability of iron from little millet and proso millet based recipes’’ was conducted on four millet preparations namely dosa, idli, roti and rice, using two millets namely little millet and proso millet. The iron content of millets was 2.60g, 7.0g, in little millet, proso millet. Bio available iron in millet dosas was highest with 2.23in proso millet dosa and lowest with 2.15mg in little millet dosa with and 2.03mg from rice dosa. In millet idlis maximum 0.57 mg in proso millet idli and 0.125mg in control rice idli. In millet rotis maximum was found in proso millet roti with 0.10mg minimum was found in little millet roti with 0.08mg compared to control wheat roti with 0.25mg. Available iron in millet meals was maximum in proso millet meal with 4.39mg minimum in little millet meal with 3.71mg. Compared to control rice meal, proso millet meal had higher available iron. Significant difference was found in the bio available iron from any two millets and between millet meals and rice meal (p<0.05)
