Physical and Functional Properties of some Millet Cultivars in Iraq

Abstract In this research, the physical properties of millet grains such as length, width, thickness, weight a thousand and size were studied for six varieties represented by Proso grown in Iraq imported foxtail (Ukrainian (1) - Russian (2)), finger small addition to sorghum. study, was superior grain length 1) character while highest value. Before soaking cultivars under bulk density one (0.66, 0.66, 0.75, 0.74, 0.63, 0.74) g/ml, respectively. The value (Russian2), followed millet, lowest class within category small. water absorption capacity proso flour (165.43%) (Ukrainian1) (118.64%), oil (132.66%) (Russian2) (104.33%). functional are essential engineers, designers, scientists, processors, design handling equipment. results also helpful assessing quality used during preparation.
