Abstract
Purpose: In this study, healthy porridge was prepared with germinated <i>Panicum miliaceum</i> (GPM) to increase its antioxidative and enzymatic activities. Methods: Before processing healthy porridge with GPM, the antioxidant activities of Panicum miliaceum (PM) and germinated GPM were determined and compared under different conditions (DW, EtOH). Then, porridge samples (Control, GPM10, GPM20, and GPM30) were prepared by varying the mixing ratios of GPM, and their viscosity and color values were determined. Results: The extracted GPM EtOH samples exhibited higher antioxidant and enzyme activities than the water-extracted samples. The viscosity of the porridge samples (Control, GPM10, GPM20, and GPM30) tended to decrease as the amount of GPM increased. For the color values of the porridge samples, the control group demonstrated highest brightness (58.60) and GPM20 demonstrated highest redness (-0.29), GPM30 demonstrated highest Yellowness (5.62). Yellowness increased as the amount of GPM increased. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, GPM exhibits higher antioxidative and enzymatic activities than PM. Thus, it was concluded that 30% GPM will benefit consumers in promoting antioxidative and enzymatic activities.
