Abstract:
Physical properties are necessary for design of different machineries to store and transport grains from one place to another, with the knowledge of physical, chemical, functional properties of red rice and kodo millet may help to develop different food products with high nutritional value, which may help the food industries to satisfy the consumer needs. The physical properties like 1000 kernel weight, 1000 kernel volume, bulk density and functional properties like hydration capacity, swelling capacity, hydration index and swelling index, proximate composition of kodo millet and red rice were discussed to boost the knowledge and to develop the new machineries.
