Description Various abrasive devices used in conventional grain milling machinery were tried for continuous, large scale
pearling (de-branning) of sorghum (jowar). A commercial Dandekar type rice mill satisfactorily removed
husk and bran from sorghum moistened with 3-5 per cent water and conditioned for 5 to 15 min. The
pearled jowar was attractive in appearance, had low fibre content and nutrient loss during refining was low.
Bhakris (dry pan cakes) from pearled jowar flour were more acceptable than those made from whole
meal flour. Jowar semolina (soji) of mesh size (—30 to +44 BSS) could be utilised for preparation of sweet
and savoury dishes.
