Analysis on Nutritional Quality of Millet Germplasm Resources in Hainan
In order to clarify the nutritional components and utilization value of foxtail millet resources in Hainan,the main nutritional components,mineral elements and vitamins were determined.The results showed that there were great differences in nutrient contents between Hainan millet resources and northern resources.The contents of starch and phosphorus were higher than those of northern varieties.The contents of total amino acids,vitamin B1 and zinc in millet were higher than those of northern varieties.The crude protein content of finger millet was high-er than that of northern varieties,and the other indexes were equivalent or lower than those of northern varieties.There are differences in resource traits in different regions of Hainan.The contents of crude protein,crude fat,total starch,amino acid and calcium of finger millet were 8.65~10.40 g/100 g,1.1~1.3 g/100 g,73.11%~75.04%,8.62%~10.36%,1 361.0~1 601.0 mg/kg,respectively,which belonged to medium gelatinization temperature and hard gel consistency rice.It was suitable for development as a potential natural calcium supplement functional food.Most of the traits of millet and broomcorn millet were similar.The contents of crude protein,crude fat,total starch and amino acid were 11.70~12.70 g/100 g,2.1~3.2 g/100 g,78.60%~82.01%,11.12%~12.54%,respectively.The amy-lose content was less than 2%,the vitamin B1 content was 0.100 9~0.610 0 mg/100 g,and the phosphorus content was 307.0~385.0 mg/100 g.All of them were waxy rice,which belongs to medium and low gelatinization tempera-ture,medium or soft gel consistency rice.The rice quality was better,suitable for cooking porridge or developing flavor snacks.
