Effect of Natural Fermentation on Antioxidant Activity of Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum)
TL;DR: Increase in total reducing sugar, iron content, antioxidant activity and decrease in tannin content of pearl millet were observed along with a decrease in pH and temperature of fermentation, which was found to be the most important factor affecting the quality parameters of the pearl Millet during fermentation.

Biofortification: A New Tool to Reduce Micronutrient Malnutrition
TL;DR: Objective HarvestPlus seeks to develop and distribute varieties of food staples that are high in iron, zinc, and provitamin A through an interdisciplinary, global alliance of scientific institutions and implementing agencies in developing and developed countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofortification of Staple Food Crops
TL;DR: Scientific evidence shows biofortification as being important in the armamentarium for controlling micronutrient deficiencies and the challenge is to get producers and consumers to accept biofortified crops and increase their intake of the target nutrients.
Journal ArticleDOI
HarvestPlus: Breeding Crops for Better Nutrition
TL;DR: For biofortification to succeed, product profiles developed by plant breeders must be driven by nutrition research and impact objectives and that nutrition research must understand that the probability of success for biofortified crops increases substantially when product concepts consider farmer adoption and, hence, agronomic superiority.
