Description Effect of alkaline cooking on proximate, phenolics and antioxidant activities of foxtail millet was
investigated. Grains were cooked at 95°C for 30 minutes with different concentrations of alkaline solution (0.25,
0.5, 0.75, 1 % Calcium oxide). During alkaline cooking of foxtail millet, the fat content reduced maximum by 22.5
%; while protein, ash and carbohydrate content increased by a maximum of 41.2, 27.4 and 5.9% respectively.
Alkaline cooking of foxtail millet showed reduction of free, bound and total polyphenols by 51.2, 22.3 and 36.6
% respectively. Total flavonoids and flavonol content also significantly (p
