Unprocessed germinated food mixture contained significantly (P < 0.05) higher amount of thiamine and niacin contents as compared to unprocessed non-germinated food mixture (Table 3). The values were 1.16 and 0.53 mg/100 g thiamine and 3.98 and 2.81 mg/100 g niacin, respectively. The increase was by about 1–2 folds in thiamine, and niacin contents of germinated food mixture. Similarly, Gilay and Field (1981) also reported 1.8 folds increase in thiamine, riboflavin and niacin contents of corn sprouts on germination, but when the germinated corn meal was subjected to fermentation, there was non-significant effect on riboflavin, thiamine and niacin contents. In the present study, when the germinated mixture was subjected to autoclaving, it caused significant reduction in these vitamins. However, when the germinated autoclaved food mixture was fermented with probiotic curd, it caused 14% and 11% enhancement in thiamine and niacin contents. Similarly, Khetarpaul and Chauhan (1989) reported marginal increase in thiamine content of pearl millet by pure culture fermentation of L. acidophilus, whereas the concentration of thiamine improved almost 2–3 folds when fermentation was carried out by Saccharomyces diastaticus and Saccharomyces cervisiae, respectively.
