Abstract

Phytate and tannin contents of 24 proso millets (Panicum miliaceum) were determined. Phytate content ranged from 0.17 to 0.47% and tannins from 0.055 to 0.178% catechin equivalents. Dark-colored seeds had higher tannin contents than light-colored seeds. Dehulling of the seeds greatly reduced the levels of phytate and tannin.
