      millets.

AB  - Scanning electron microscope (SEM) pictures of small millet starch granules 
      showed more large polygonal and few small spherical or polygonal granules. The 
      granules of small millets resembled those of rice starch granules. The size of 
      the starch granules ranged from 0.8-10 microm. The size of the granules was 
      larger in barnyard millet and smaller in proso millet. Several granules showed 
      deep indentation caused by protein bodies. SEM of starch isolated from 24 
      hour-germinated kodo millet showed pitting or pinholes at some points due to the 
      attack of amylases (preferentially on bigger granules). Brabender viscoamylograph 
      studies on small millet starches revealed that the gelatinization temperatures 
      ranged from 75.8 to 84.9 degrees C. Barnyard millet possessed lower amylograph 
      viscosity, minimum breakdown, and relative breakdown values when compared to the 
      other small millets.
