Biofuel Production

Fermentation efficiency of proso millet ranged from 66.4 to 90.8%. Highly fermentable corn exhibits the highest fermentation efficiency (97.0 ± 1.4%). Waxy proso millet exhibits higher fermentation efficiency than non-waxy varieties.

Proso millet distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) contained more protein (26.6–33.4%) than the DDGS from corn (17.2–23.4%).
