This study aims to formulate biscuits incorporating gluten-free millet flour. The wheat flour was substituted by millet flour at various ratios of 10%, 20%, and 30% (w/w). The physical properties, the proximate composition, and antioxidant activity, including consumer acceptability, were evaluated. The results revealed a significant increase 2-fold in fibre content with slightly increased ash content. Biscuit diameter increased when millet flour increased due to less effect of gluten, relative to increased spread factor. In addition, the biscuit containing 30% millet flour had the darkest colour surface, and its texture was easy to break. There was an increase in the total phenolic content (4.76 mg GAE/g) and antioxidant activity also increased to 5.67 µmol TE/g, and 13.60 µmol TE/g as measured by DPPH and ABTS assays, respectively. These improved the nutritional values of biscuits when substituted with millet flour at 30%. Furthermore, the most consumer acceptability was observed for the biscuits substituted at this level. Thus, millet flour can be used to substitute wheat flour at 30% in the development of nutritional butter biscuits.

International students are more likely to experience mental health issues and increased stress. Mental health is often surrounded by negative societal stigmas that act as barriers to seeking support and tend to lead to greater mental health concerns. International students tend to seek socioemotional support from other international student peers rather than seeking out counseling services. However, this study shows that LGBTQIA+ international students were less likely to seek socioemotional support from other international student peers due to fear of their sexual orientation being discovered and their families finding out about their identity. This study examines how LGBTQIA+ international students talk about their experiences on and off campus in relations to their socioemotional well-being. Specifically, this study sought to better understand the complexities of LGBTQIA+ students’ identities, and the challenges they faced in terms of their socioemotional well-being. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
