Influence of Milling Methods and Cold Plasma Treatment on the Functional and Baking Properties of the Pearl Millet Flour and Bread
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Pearl millet, a crop with excellent resilience to harsh environmental conditions, is gluten‐free, but hard to mimic the wheat bread textural attributes. Cold plasma treatment is a non‐thermal technology that can enhance the viscosity profile and functional properties of the cereal flour. The objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of milling methods (pin mill and hammer mill) and moisture conditioning (tempered and untempered grain) on the rheological and physical properti …
