people seek more sustainable and nutrient-dense alternatives. International organizations and research institutions have
advocated for increased millet production and consumption by introducing novel technologies and machinery in response
to global food security and climate change challenges. This review aims to identify the impact of modern and conventional
processing technologies on the quality of diferent millets. A comprehensive analysis of research reviews reveals that doublestage and tabletop centrifugal dehullers, infrared roasting, pulsed light, ultrasound, high-pressure processing methods, fortifcation, and encapsulation are optimal for nutrient retention in various millets. Extrusion technology application in millet
processing has created a diverse range of value-added products with extended shelf stability. Emphasis is needed to develop
robust promotion and distribution channels and establish an export promotion forum involving all stakeholders to promote
and diversify millet-based products and technologies.
