Abstract
:The present investigation was carried out to study the micronutrient composition, antinutritional factors and bioaccessibility of iron in finger millet. The different genotypes of finger millet selected for this study were ML-197, ML-553, ML-31, ML-426, ML-322, and ML-365. The results were compared with two check varieties, GPU-28 and Indaf-5. In these different genotypes, calcium was found to be in the range of 264-365 mg/100g, magnesium 66-130 mg/100g, iron 3.60-7.31 mg/ 100g, sodium 0.60-0.95 mg/100g and potassium 294-1160 mg/100g, whereas bioaccessibility of iron was more in ML-426 and ML-322 (12.01 and 12.06 respectively) and also they contain less tannins and phytates (0.30% and 0.34 mg/100g respectively). An antinutritional factor like phytate content was more in ML-197 (320 mg/g) and least in ML-365 (246 mg/g). The highest tannin content was found in ML-197 (0.54%) and least was found in ML-365 (0.20%). The bioaccessibility of iron appears to be associated with the high composition of antinutrients like phytates and tannin. The bioaccessibility of iron in ML-197 is very less due to the presence of more tannins and phytates
