Abstract
ABSTRACTGermination of pearl millet at 30°C for 24 hr reduced phytic acid significantly (P<0.05) which, on fermentation with mixed pure cultures of Saccharomyces diastaticus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Lactobacillus brevis, and Lactobacillus fermentum at 30°C for 72 hr, was eliminated or reduced to negligible levels in fermented sprouts. Concentration of polyphenols did not change on germination. The fermentation of sprouts by combinations of S. cerevisiae with L. brevis and S. cerevisiae and L. fermentum did not change polyphenol whereas S. diastaticus with L. brevis (SdLb) increased and S. diastaticus with L. fermentum combinations decreased the polyphenol in the sprouts.
