Effect Of Two Milling Techniques And Flours Particle Size On Some, Theodore N'Dede Djeni

Theodore N'Dede Djeni

Two techniques of milling (milling with wooden mortar and milling with hammer grinder) for the production of millet flours were compared in term of physical, biochemical and nutritional aspects and digestibility of the produced flours. A batch of millet grains with candle (Pennisetum glaucum L. R.BR) was purchased from a local market for flour production, while the flour digestibility tests were achieved with an enzymatic crude extract get from gastric juice of and snails (Archachatina marginata). The different rough flours obtained from both milling techniques showed significant differences (p<0.05) in their granulometric profiles and their biochemical composition. The mortar …
