Production of Foxtail-Millet-Based Composite Antioxidant Nutritive Flour Using Coarse Grains and Fruit Flour

Antioxidants are primarily responsible for the beneficial health effects of foxtail millet. This study evaluated a foxtail-millet-based composite antioxidant nutritive flour consisting fermented millet, coarse grains, and fruit powders. The composition was optimized, it found to be rich in nutrients, such as phenolics (2.27 g/100 g), vitamin C (0.21 polysaccharides (0.35 g). results revealed that this has enhanced vitro vivo physicochemical properties higher activities than commercial flour. total capability, superoxide dismutase (SOD) radical scavenging abilities were 0.84 mM Trolox equivalents/g, 38.29 U/g, 42.02%, respectively. activity enzyme SOD glutathione peroxidase increased, whereas malondialdehyde levels decreased liver, heart, kidney mice treated with flour, indicating potential
