Abstract
Malting of seeds enhance its nutritional value through induced hydrolytic activity. Local varieties of fingermillet and mungbean were selected to evaluate the nutritional changes during malting process. Both fingermillet and mungbean seeds were steeped in boiled cool water (w/v=1:2) for 6 hours at ambient temperature (30°C) and germinated for different time of 12, 24 and 36 hours. The germination stopped at different time interval by drying in sunlight. The raw and malted seeds of fingermillet and mungbean were ground into fine flour and analyzed for their proximate composition. The results revealed that there was a significant increase (p 0.05) found in moisture, total fat, crude fibre, ash and total sugar content during malting of both fingermillet and mungbean for 36 hours.
