Abstract

In this study two cultivars of pearl millet (Ugandi and Dembi yellow) were subjected to fermentation, damirga preparation and sprouting. These caused appreciable changes in the chemical composition (moisture, ash, fibre, protein and oil contents), but markedly reduced the minerals contents (Na, K, Mg, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) of pearl millet
