ABSTRACT
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) is an important food staples in semi-arid tropics of Asia and Africa. Millet is cereal grains that have prospective to be used as substitute to wheat flour for celiac patients. It is considered as the good source of many important and essential fatty acids.
The present study was an effort to explore biochemical composition of five millet varieties with special reference to their volatile profiling. Pearl millet seeds of HHB-67, RHB-177, RHB-173, GHB-558 and GHB-538 were used for identification of volatile compounds in methanolic extract. The GC-MS scan analysis results reveal that linoleic acid was found as major constituents prominently in methanol extract of pearl millet seed. Out of five genotypes RHB-173 contains highest linoleic acid content in methanol extract.
Keywords: Pearl Millet, GC-MS, linoleic acid
