Abstract
ABSTRACTSingle and mixed pure culture fermentations of pearl millet flour with yeasts and lactobacilli, namely, Saccharomyces diastaticus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus fermentum, at 30oC for 72 hr brought about a significant reduction in phytic acid and polyphenols which were present in considerable amounts in pearl millet flour. Reduction in phytic acid was more pronounced than that in the polyphenols.
