FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Discover Grain Processing Techniques

Cereal grains are packed with nutrition and are an important part of a healthy diet. Processing techniques play a vital role in improving the nutritional value, shelf life, texture and appearance, and the functional properties of grain-based food ingredients. For our Grain Processing Techniques Food for Thought, we've collected resources that illustrating the value of these techniques in food production.

Take a look at this topic and our past Food for Thought topics.


FEATURED SCIENCE

Functional Food Research

Mapping and analysis of volatomes from pearl millet (Pennisetum gaucum L.) grains during different storage conditions with solid-phase microextraction–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry​​

Shilpa Selvan and colleagues describe the use of volatiles for non-destructive quality monitoring of pearl millet during storage, presenting information that may also broadly benefit quality monitoring systems of stored grains in general. This article is free to read for a limited time.
