Abstract

A comparative study was
carried out on nutritional and technological qualities of fourteen 14
cultivars of Pennisetum glaucum .The contents of proteins ranged
from 8.66 to 17.11 for all the cultivars. IKMP3, IKMP5, SOSAT C88
and L Zatiib were reveled to be excellent sources of proteins. Water-soluble
proteins ranged from 1.81 to 3.18 . Fat content in the grains values
ranged from 6.76 to 10.24 , the best cultivars for fat were IKMP3,
IKMP5, SOSAT C88 and KM. The carbohydrates are the major components
of these cultivars, values ranged between 71.82 to 81.02 and samples
IKMP1, IKMP2, TK, B1, B2 contained more carbohydrates than all others
cultivars. The energy values of cutivars flours ranged from 426.21 Kcal100g
to 446.53Kcal100g. Results of Technological properties showed capacities
of swelling in water VIVF ranged from 2.33
and 8.28. Masses of 1000 grains ranged from 5.53 g to 13.13 g cutivars
IKMV8201, IKMP5, B1 had the highest masses of 1000 grains and consequently
present better outputs potential millers. Starch is present in relatively
significant quantity of 51.49 at 79.07 and cultivars IKMP1, B1,
and SG have the most raised contents. The crude fibres also are present
in high quantity 8.06 to12.40 and cultivars IKMP3, SOSAT C88 are
provided greater quantity. The cultivars contents of phytates from 5.45
to 14.26 mg g and in polyphenols from 2.27 to 3.20 mg g. The energy
values of cultivars flours lies between 426.51 kcal 100 g and 446.53
kcal 100 g. Samples IKMP3, IKMP5, SOSAT C88 and KM are equipped best
with it. In addition, cultivars IKMP3, IKMP5, S0SAT C88, IKMV8201, KM
and L Zatiib have better nutritional profiles.
