Abstract
Color cereals are functional foods that contain a sufficient amount of essential nutrients as well as several other key bioactive compounds that benefit human health. They are often ingested either processed or whole to considerably meet the daily nutrient requirements of people all over the world. Their nutritional and therapeutic advantages are mostly attributable to the presence of bioactive components such as polyphenols, minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins, which aid in the prevention and treatment of many degenerative disorders. However, color cereal grains undergo physical and chemical transformations as a result of their thermal and nonthermal processing. Consequently, special attention should be devoted to avoiding or minimizing the loss of nutritious content in grain cereals during both primary and secondary processing. Primary and secondary processing effects on the nutritional properties of color grains are discussed in detail in this chapter, which provides a comprehensive resource for harnessing their nutritive values.
