Millet is one of the cereal grain belongs to grass family. Its widely consumed in developing countries and India. a rich source nutrition. The food products beverages made out them have many health benefits. “Different types millets their own specialties. Sorghum completely gluten-free iron, protein fibre. Finger millet natural calcium iron. It helps cure anaemia, improves bone health. Pearl co...

Many African countries, including Mali, depend on the production of a single or limited range crops for national food security. In this heavy reliance basic commodities staple crops, even just one, exacerbates multiple risks to agricultural production, rural livelihoods, and nutrition. With in mind, smart campaign was initiated strengthen resilience nutritional situation households peasant comm...

PROBLEM: Before the cereals market reforms of the 1980s, food policies in Mali were aimed at securing cheap cereal supplies to urban consumers (government employees, students, the military, etc.). To achieve this objective, the government fixed the prices of the major food crops both pan-seasonally and pan-territorially and required forced deliveries to the national grain board. The grain board...

There are increasing demands for syngas production. Fossil-based fuels expensive and environmentally unfriendly. Affordable, sustainable, healthy alternatives sustainable fuel sources needed. This study focused on producing tor-chars from two different tropical biomasses (from Nigeria, West Africa), which were torrefied characterized to improve their properties potential use as feedstocks in an...

The invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, poses significant risk to organic farming systems because they rely on biological control, nonsynthetic inputs, and cultural tactics for pest management. This study evaluated the potential of five crop plants (sorghum, admiral pea, millet, okra, and sunflower) to be used as trap crops under organic production in four mid-Atlantic state...

Purpose: To enhance the in vitro synthesis of short chain fatty acids through millet dietary fibre fermentation by human faecal probiotic bacteria. Methods: The effect of millet dietary fibre fermentation on production of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) by four probiotics was studied. Dietary fibre was extracted from two millet varieties viz Pearl millet, Pennisetum glaucum (PM) and Foxtail mill...

Several underutilized grasses have excellent potential for use as bioenergy feedstock due to their lignocellulosic biomass. Genomic tools have enabled identification of lignocellulose biosynthesis genes in several sequenced plants. However, the non-availability of whole genome sequence of bioenergy grasses hinders the study on bioenergy genomics and their genomics-assisted crop improvement. Fox...

Abstract Addressing the challenge of food and nutrition insecurity in Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) will require innovative agriculture production systems that support multiple objectives. In recent years, several high‐yielding, nutrient‐dense varieties cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp), pearl millet Pennisetum glaucum R. Br.), sorghum Sorghum bicolor Moench) have been developed purposely as dua...

Aflatoxins are naturally occurring toxins produced by certain fungi, mainly Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. Several types of aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, and G2) are produced by these fungi. The B1 form is recognized by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as one of the most toxic and carcinogenic substances found in nature. 1 These aflatoxin-producing fungi can contaminat...
