ABSTRACT
Flours were obtained from pearl
millet (Pennisetum glaucum) and gari respectively, by milling the pearl millet
and the gari. The pearl millets were two different types, locally called jero
and maiwa. Some proportions of the jero and the maiwa were sieved. The pearl
millet flours were blended with the gari flour. The Anti-nutritional and
functional properties of the composite flours were investigated. The functional
properties of the flour blends ranged from 0.70g/ml to 0.81g/ml loose bulk
density, 0.98g/ml to l.54g/ml oil absorption capacity, 0.86g/ml to l.83g/ml
water absorption capacity, 23.6g/ml to 43.12g/ml swelling power, 10.64g/ml to
22.45g/ml swelling index, 0.50g/ml to 0.73g/ml packed bulk density, 0.12.g/ml
to 0.48g/ml wettability, 63.84°C to 78.11°C gelatinization temperature, 5.12%
to 5.91% pH, 5.l2minlsec to 6.14mm/sec gelatinization time. The
anti-nutritional properties ranged from 0.02g/ml to 3.37g1m1 phenol, 0.0lg/ml
to 0.15g/ml steroid, 0.03g/ml to 0.49g/ml oxalate, l.09g/ml to 3.84g/ml hydrogen
cyanide, 0.05g/ml to 0.26g/ml saponin, 0.10g/ml to 0.38g/ml tannin, 0.05g/ml to
0.17g/ml alkaloid, 0.02g/ml to 0.43g/ml flavonoid, 0.01g/ml to 0.16g/ml
phytate.
