nutritional and pasting characteristics of maize and sorghum. The bulk and true densities of
both the maize and sorghum flour were observed significantly (P< 0.01) higher as compared
to popped maize and sorghum flour. The water absorption and solubility index were higher
for the popped grain flours due to porous structure. Water absorption index of maize grain
increased upon popping from 302.7±8.86 to 418.33±9.77 and from 233.93±4.04 to …
