Description Cereals such as rice and wheat are the predominant staple food for millions across the world that lead not
only to an array of emerging life style diseases but also challenges human health and nutrition. Hence, there
is an urgent need for identifying and recommending diversity of other cereals which can enhance the
nutrition of the mal-nourished population of the world. Two of ICRISAT’s mandate crops, sorghum and pearl millet, can serve this purpose as these can be the
source of prebiotics (Total dietary fiber, resistant starch, total oligosaccharides, (3-glucan, etc.) for functional food.The main objective of the present investigation is to understand the probiotic potential of sorghum and pearl millet which is grown extensively in the Semi-Arid Tropics of the world.
