Browntop Millet Vermicelli (180 G)

🌾 Processing of Browntop Vermicelli Using Sprouted Browntop Millet Flour

Ingredients Composition

• Sprouted Browntop Millet Flour – 100%
• Water – RO treated (as required for dough consistency)

🛠️ Processing Steps

1. Selection & Cleaning of Grains

• Indigenous browntop millet grains are selected for uniformity, minimal polishing, and high nutritional content.
• Grains are cleaned to remove dust, grit, and impurities using air-suction and water rinsing methods.

2. Sprouting Process

• Soaking: Grains are soaked in RO water for 6–8 hours to initiate enzymatic activity.
• Germination: Incubated under controlled conditions (28–30°C, ~75% RH) for 24–36 hours to sprout, enhancing amino acid profiles and reducing antinutrients.
• Drying: Sprouted grains are gently dried at <50°C in a dehydrator to preserve antioxidants and vitamins.

3. Milling

• Dried sprouts are stone-ground into a fine flour (mesh size 100–120), retaining the hull-rich fiber and B-complex vitamins.

4. Dough Preparation

• Sprouted flour is blended with RO-treated water gradually until a uniform, soft dough is formed.
• The dough is rested for 20–30 minutes to hydrate and develop natural elasticity via pre-gelatinized starches.

5. Vermicelli Formation via Extrusion

• Dough is fed into a cold extruder and shaped through fine vermicelli dies.
• Extruded strands are cut into desired lengths (10–15 cm) and pre-dried in ambient air for 30–45 minutes.

6. Final Drying

• Air-dried vermicelli is transferred to a tray dryer set at 45–48°C, dried to reduce moisture content below 10%, ensuring storage stability.

7. Packaging & Storage

• Dried browntop vermicelli is packed in eco-friendly, moisture-barrier packs.
• Stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, shelf life is 6–9 months under optimal conditions.
