Abstract:
Food grains represent the main supplementary energy source in starchy food-based diets consumed by large segments of people. Three food grains ( groundnut, millet and wheat) commonly consumed in Kotma Colliery analysed for their phytochemical content.The results revealed that the grains contained 0.62-1.24% alkaloid 0.72-1.78 % flavonoid 0.02-0.08 % saponin 0.46-0.60 % tannins 2.43-2.64 % phenols and 0.21-0.31 phytic acid..Dietary implications of these constituents are highlighted.
