Mysore/Mysuru: A two-day National workshop on ‘Gerobiotic supplementation through fermented millet beverage and millet curd’ was held recently at CSIR-CFTRI. This workshop was sponsored by the Probiotic Association of India (PAi).
Dr. Sridevi Annapurna Singh, Director, CSIR-CFTRI, who inaugurated the two-day workshop, highlighted the benefits of millets and their potential anti-aging role. She also emphasised that fermentation may be the possible solution for reduction of anti-nutrient factors in millet. She noted that even though microbes are small, their benefits are numerous as many new fields are emerging as part of microbiology such as probiotic, prebiotic, postbiotic, parabiotics and now gerobiotics.
