Abstract
Nutritional profiling of mountain crops like proso millet (Panicum miliaceum), foxtail millet (Setaria italica) and amaranth (Amaranthus spp.) was carried out through proximate analysis (moisture, crude fat, crude fiber, crude protein, total ash and carbohydrate), mineral content (iron, calcium and phosphorous), bioactive components (polyphenol and flavonoid) and antioxidant activity. Two land races of proso millet (Dudhe Chino and Hade Chino), two land races of foxtail millet (Raato Kaguno and Seto Kaaguno) and two species of amaranth [A. caudatus (Raato Latte, red) and A. hypochondriacus (Seto Latte, white)] were included in the study. The proximate component was almost similar in all tested crops. However, the lowest protein content (4.7%) and the highest crude fiber (16.9%) were found in Hade proso millet. Iron, phosphorous, calcium, polyphenol and flavonoid were found higher in amaranth compared to proso and foxtail millets. Phosphorous (97.19 mg/100 g) and calcium (175.72 mg/100 g) were higher in Seto Latte. Polyphenol (209.02 µg/100 g) and flavonoid (91.56 µg/100 g) were found the highest in Raato Latte. Also, antioxidant activity was found the highest (67.9%) in Raato Latte. Proximate composition, mineral content, bioactive components, and antioxidant activity were varied not only from one species of crop to another but also between the varieties of the crops.
