Abstract: The majority of straws are composed of paper and plastic, which itself is hazardous to your health. Making alternative straws are more important because plastic and paper straws can cause environmental issues and health issues who consumes through it. Herbal straws have altered some aspects of the society, but not all of them. The fact that our millet straws are 100% organic, composable at home, and healthful makes them ideal for everyone and every business. They are now vegan- and gluten-free-friendly. The majority of those who care about the environment like cereal straws because they help us avoid using plastic straws and all of the negative effects they have on our society. However, the advantage of this straw is that no chemicals are utilized and it serves as a preservative, thus it may be avoided by using paper straws. The straws are mainly done by using heat energy and compression force. Our straws are sturdy, so if they disintegrate in water, no chemicals will leak out like they do with paper straws. Since they are made of oil extraction waste, these straws are both consumable and healthy. They are also reasonably priced.
DESC:Collection of millets like (foxtail, sorghum, finger, kodo, barnyard, and various millets). The chemical, physical and biological properties of millets are studied and availability study of millets are done. Selected the method for processing the millets, methods include baking and drying. Composition of millet ratios were identified. The chosen millets are processed in various methods like (Ball mill, Hammer mill and various grinding methods. Processed millets are sieved. The straw making mold are made by using iron material, stainless steel, silica material, wood and various materials. The millets are grinned and sieved to attain the powder form. The millet powder is mixed with water in the ratio of 2:4 with water to attains its dough consistency. Other ingredients like sugar and salt are added to the mixture. The dough is stuffed in the mold as mentioned in the part (3c) and (5e). The rod mentioned in part (4d) is interested using compression. Excess amount of dough is compressed out through the hole which is mentioned in part (9i). The dough filled with mold is baked in the temperature of 150 to 220 °C at 15 to 30 minutes or dried in the temperature of 180 to 250°C at 15 to 40 minutes. The straw is removed from the mold after the baking or drying process. ,CLAIMS:1. A gluten free millet straw, comprising of:
