Cereal and Cereal Products

Cereals and pulses are an important commodity group of crops that provide high-quality protein and essential nutrients. They also provide fodder for cattle, and provide raw materials to various industries. As the demand for functional foods has increased, it has become important to develop new technologies like fortification, enrichment to produce cereal fractions with potential health benefits.
