Book excerpt: Sorghum and Millets, 3e is to be the leading reference resource for in-depth state-of-art knowledge on all aspects of sorghum and millets related to their grain science and utilization. The core of the new edition remains the structure and chemistry and biochemistry of their grains and grain components and the technologies of processing these grains into foods. Additionally, it provides holistic and complete information about all the technologies in the sorghum and millets food value chain, from genomics-based breeding to grain- and product quality assurance. The global perspective of the content includes both the modern and traditional food value chains. Sorghum and the millets are the 5th and 6th most important cereal grains in terms of production and are cultivated across the world. They have a very wide range of end-uses: as traditional staple foods and beverages, modern processed foods and, with respect to sorghum, industrial applications including biofuels, and as an animal and aquaculture feedstuff. They are tropical cereal plants (C4 photosynthetic pathway) and are uniquely hardy as they can produce an adequate crop under conditions of low rainfall and high temperatures and sorghum, in particular, can withstand periods of drought and waterlogging. Because of these attributes, sorghum and millets have natural resilience to cultivation under conditions of higher temperatures and extreme weather events being brought about by climate change. Sorghum and grains also process valuable end-use attributes, notably that they are generally substantially higher in health-promoting phytochemicals than other cereal grains, their foods can exhibit slow starch digestibility and they are naturally gluten-free. Sorghum and Millets 3e brings the important scientific knowledge up to date in all respects: basic science - genetics, chemistry and biochemistry, food chemistry; nutritional quality and health-promoting attributes; and agronomy, food and feed processing technologies. - Covers core information on structure, chemistry, and biochemistry of sorghum and millet grains - Contains expanded coverage of AI in quality assurance, and use as food and feed for animals/ aquaculture, and phytochemical opportunities - Progresses from agronomy and breeding through processing into food and nonfood products - Provides workflow graphics on processes for enhanced application of provided information - Highlights sorghum and millet attributes in meeting world food, feed, and industrial needs - Addresses and dispels common misperceptions about millets and sorghum

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scenes of starvation have drawn the world's attention to Africa's agricultural and environmental crisis. Some observers question whether this continent can ever hope to feed its growing population. Yet there is an overlooked food resource in sub-Saharan Africa that has vast potential: native food plants. When experts were asked to nominate African food plants for inclusion in a new book, a list of 30 species grew quickly to hundreds. All in all, Africa has more than 2,000 native grains and fruitsâ€""lost" species due for rediscovery and exploitation. This volume focuses on native cereals, including: African rice, reserved until recently as a luxury food for religious rituals. Finger millet, neglected internationally although it is a staple for millions. Fonio (acha), probably the oldest African cereal and sometimes called "hungry rice." Pearl millet, a widely used grain that still holds great untapped potential. Sorghum, with prospects for making the twenty-first century the "century of sorghum." Tef, in many ways ideal but only now enjoying budding commercial production. Other cultivated and wild grains. This readable and engaging book dispels myths, often based on Western bias, about the nutritional value, flavor, and yield of these African grains. Designed as a tool for economic development, the volume is organized with increasing levels of detail to meet the needs of both lay and professional readers. The authors present the available information on where and how each grain is grown, harvested, and processed, and they list its benefits and limitations as a food source. The authors describe "next steps" for increasing the use of each grain, outline research needs, and address issues in building commercial production. Sidebars cover such interesting points as the potential use of gene mapping and other "high-tech" agricultural techniques on these grains. This fact-filled volume will be of great interest to agricultural experts, entrepreneurs, researchers, and individuals concerned about restoring food production, environmental health, and economic opportunity in sub-Saharan Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cereal uses range from human food and beverages to animal feeds and industrial products. It is human food and beverages which are the predominant uses covered in this book, since the nutritional quality of cereals for animal feed is described in other publications on animal nutrition, and industrial products are a relatively minor use of cereals. Cereals are the main components of human diets and are crucial to human survival. Three species, wheat, rice and maize, account for the bulk of human food. Barley is the major raw material for beer production and ranks fourth in world production. Other species such as sorghum are regionally important. This book covers all the major cereal species: wheat, rice, maize, barley, sorghum, millet, oats, rye and triticale. Specific chapters have been devoted to a description of the major end-uses of each of the species and to definition of the qualities required for each of their end uses. The functional and nutritional quality of cereals determines their suitability for specific purposes and may limit the quality of the end product, influencing greatly the commercial value of grain. An under standing of the factors that determine grain quality is thus important in the maintenance of efficient and sustainable agricultural and food production. The biochemical constituents of the grain that determine quality have been described in chapters on proteins, carbohydrates and other components. An understanding of the relationships between grain composition and quality is important in selecting grain for specific uses.
