Millets, a versatile grain, have gained renewed attention in recent years due to their unique characteristics and numerous health/nutritional benefits. These small-seeded grains are not only consumed as a staple food but also used in the preparation of specialty foods for diverse target groups, ranging from children to the elderly.

Recent trends in the food industry highlight the importance of millets in the human diet. Millets possess several key attributes that make them highly valuable. Firstly, they are rich in essential nutrients, including carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Additionally, millets are known for their high nutritional density, meaning they provide a significant amount of nutrients per serving.

Another advantage of millets is their ability to grow in high temperatures and drought conditions. This resilience makes them suitable for cultivation in regions with challenging environmental conditions, such as arid areas and sub-Saharan Africa. Millets also possess resistance to pests and diseases, which further contributes to their sustainability and productivity.

The book explores the diverse types of millets and delves into their properties, nutritional and anti-nutritional values. It provides valuable information on the physiochemical characteristics of millets, their future prospects, current methodologies, and agricultural practices. The latter sections cover emerging technologies in millet processing, by-products utilization, quality standards, and the current millet industry scenario.

The book offers a comprehensive overview of the status of millet processing, quality, and nutraceutical product manufacture. It is a valuable resource for students and researchers in food sciences, as well as industry experts seeking to explore the potential of millets in the food industry. By providing a detailed account of millets' characteristics, processing methods, and applications, the book contributes to the growing body of knowledge on this important grain and its potential to improve human health and well-being.
