Description
Summary:	•Finger millet crop as nutracereal is gaining popularity in food industry.•Finger millet showed good amount of essential amino acids and promote health.•Nutracereal finger millet showed its potentiality to tackle life style disorders.•Finger millet may helps in fighting against micro-nutrient deficiency diseases. Finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) is gaining popularity as healthy food due to its nutritional and phytochemical properties. This study reports nutritional and phytochemical profile of ten finger millet genotypes. Proximate analysis of finger millet genotypes revealed moisture, total carbohydrate, protein, fat, fiber and ash in the range of 7.50–11.75, 71.90–76.38, 6.7–8.0, 1.2–1.7, 3.1–3.8 and 3.1–3.8 per cent respectively. Micro-nutrient profiling showed Ca, Fe, Zn, P, K and Mn in the range of 2400.00–3400.00, 40.28–47.60, 12.40–17.45, 1600.00–2900.00, 3800.00–5200.00 and 51.33–61.28 mg kg−1 respectively. Phytochemical profiling was done for total phenol, phytic acid, tannins, flavonoids, HCN, oxalate and trypsin inhibitor which were observed in the range of 99.75–112.25, 210.75–302.75, 340.00–500.00, 62.23–74.05, 2.45–2.80, 19.80–26.23 mg 100 g−1 and 207.35–234.23 TIU g−1 respectively. Amino acid profiling showed good amount of essential amino acids. Nutritional and phytochemical profiling of finger millet genotypes showed its potentiality to become source of health promoting food.
