| dc.description.abstract | The demand for millets and their products is becoming popular globally due to their various health-promoting properties. The major constituent of the millet is its starch which contributes about 70% of total millet grain and decides the quality of millet-based food products. The application of starch for various purposes is dependent upon its physicochemical, structural, and functional properties. A native starch does not possess all the required properties for a specific use. However, product-specific properties can be achieved by modifying the structure of starches. Information deficit on millet starch has undermined its potential use in new food product design. The objective of this review is to examine the chemical composition, characterization, structural chemistry, digestibility, hydrolysis, and modification techniques of the millet starches. The review paper also discusses the various applications of native and modified starches in the food industry. © 2021 | |
