Considering the health benefits of extruding germinated multi-millet grains, current study emphasizes extrusion processing grain blends (sorghum millet, finger foxtail pearl and rice) in various ratios 11.5:11.5:11.5:11.5:6:4 to produce nutritionally important expanded snack products. The process was adjusted for all preparations under a controlled moisture content 20-21% (w.b.), at most stable...
