dc.description.abstractThe study aimed to develop a simple hand operated, table-top millet dehuller to reduce processing drudgery at household levels. Its performance was evaluated on the ability to dehull different millet varieties, namely, foxtail (Setaria italica), barnyard (Echinochloa colona) and kodo (Paspalum scrobiculatum) millets. This thesis abstract describes millet dehulling for human consumption as tiresome work due to millets’ small size and the unavailability of processing equipment. Drudgery is one of the reasons millets are less favoured for household consumption. Dehulling practices can be made simpler and more efficient by adopting and developing appropriate processing technology.en
