Metabolomic profiling of finger millet: unlocking the secrets of a nutritious staple food
The comprehensive metabolite profiling demonstrates that finger millet is a rich source of bioactive primary and secondary compounds with potential therapeutic benefits. The diversity of metabolites and essential minerals highlights its value as a functional food ingredient for the prevention and management of metabolic disorders. These findings provide a biochemical basis for the development of value-added nutraceutical products derived from finger millet landraces.
