Some physicochemical properties of two cultivated species of Digitaria (D exilis and D iburua) were studied. Physical properties such as 1000-kernel weight, kernel size and water absorption rate of the grains were determined. Water absorption by both cereals reached a maximum after 24 h steeping. The starch from both cereals exhibited a two-stage pattern of swelling and solubility properties similar to other non-waxy cereal starches. Starch from acha swelled less than iburu, 7·3 compared with 7…

The focus of this article is the traditional andtechnological uses of two tropical cereal grains: Digitaria exilis (acha) and D. iburua(iburu); with emphasis on their carbohydrate andprotein…
Effect of acha (Digitaria exilis staph) and millet (Pennisetum typhodium) grain on kunun zaki
Acha and millet were cleaned, steeped in water, washed and spiced. Dry, granulated sweet potato was added and wet milled to produce a slurry. Two‐thirds of the slurry were gelatinized by the addition…
Effect of Acha (Digitaria exilis) Grain Flour on the Physico-Chemical and Sensory Properties of Bread
Abstract Different levels of acha (Digitaria exilis) grain flour (0–100%) were mixed with wheat flour (golden penny) and other ingredients (1.0 g salt, 2.5 g fat, 1.5 g yeast, 12.0 g sugar, and 56.0…
Physical and chemical properties of sweet juice produced from hydrolysed acha (Digitaria exilis Stapf) starch using crude amylase from germinated maize
This study investigated the possibility of producing juice by hydrolyzing acha starch using crude amylase from germinated maize. Planted maize was monitored for seven days to determine germinative…

Effect of acha (Digitaria exilis staph.) grain flours on the physical and sensory quality of biscuit
TLDR
Acha (Digitaria exilis staph.) grain was purchased locally from Jos central market in Plateau State of Nigeria and used as acha grain flour to substitute for wheat flour for the production of biscuits.
Techno-Functional and Gelling Properties of Acha (Fonio) (Digitaria exilis stapf) Flour: A Study of Its Potential as a New Gluten-Free Starch Source in Industrial Applications
Fonio (Digitaria exilis Stapf) is an ancient African cereal that represents a rich source of carbohydrate, fat, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and sulfur-containing amino acids. Processing and…
Structure and Nutritional Composition of Fonio ( Digitaria exilis ) Grains : A Review
TLDR
The structure of fonio was reported and compared to the that of other major cereals, such as maize, rice, millet and sorghum and the chemical and nutrient composition of D. exilis grain was reviewed.
