Description Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) were evaluated for polyphenolic
content and their bioaccessibility. Total polyphenols of native finger millet was 10.2 mg/g which reduced
by 50% after sprouting or pressure-cooking, while 12–19% reduction was seen after open-pan boiling.
Total flavonoids of the grain reduced drastically on sprouting, pressure-cooking or open-pan boiling. Concentration
of phenolic acids generally increased during sprouting and roasting of finger millet. Pressure
cooking, open-pan boiling and microwave-heating reduced the bioaccessible polyphenols by 30–35%,
while the same was increased by 67% by sprouting. Significant reduction of total polyphenols was
observed in pressure-cooked, open-pan boiled and microwave-heated pearl millet. Concentration of sinapic
and salicylic acids were highest phenolic acids of pearl millet. Total polyphenols reduced during
sprouting and pressure-cooking. There was a 20% increase in the bioaccessible polyphenols after sprouting
of pearl millet. Thus, sprouting and roasting provided more bioaccessible phenolics from these two
common millets studied.
