To find out the distribution of phytate in pearl millet grain, grains
samples of 7 hybrids and 4 composites were decorticated and phytate content of whole grain along with decorticated grain and bran
fraction was estimated simultaneously. Bran yield of analyzed hybrids/composites varied from 9.2 to 13.8 %. In decorticated grains
(endosperm fraction) phytate content varied from 5.0 mg/g (HC 20)
to 6.54 mg/g (HHB 67 improved) with an average value of 5.92 mg/g
while in bran fraction it varied from 3.96 mg/g to 4.90 mg/g with an
average value of 4.42 mg/g. On an average 5.34 % increment in
phytate content was observed on decortications which varied from
3.5 to 9.2 %. A positive correlation was observed between bran
content and increase in phytate content in decorticated grains. It is
concluded that phytate deposition occurs throughout the endosperm
and bran fractions but deposition in endosperm fraction is significantly denser than that in bran fraction. Therefore, decortications
might not be the effective process in reduction of phytate content in
pearl millet to improve the micronutrient bioavailability.
