## Abstract Determination of the protein content and amino acid composition of finger millet samples from whiteβgrain and brownβgrain varieties, revealed wide variations in protein and amino acid composition. Solubility fractionation of proteins showed that prolamin and glutelin constitute the majo
Milling ofpearl millet grains reflected a change in gross chemical composition. Baking did not cause a significant change in nutrient content of raw pearl millet flour. Milling and heat treatment during chapati (an un-leavened bread) making lowered polyphenols and phytic acid and improved the protei
## Abstract The nutrient and amino acid composition of a range of Nigerian feedstuffs were studied by chemical analysis and column chromatography for amino acids. Nearly all feedstuffs studied showed low crude fibre value except the palm kernel meal and the African locust bean seeds which gave hig
