1969

Wall, J.S. | Blessin, C.W.

The structural characteristics and composition of sorghum grains which are currently grown are reviewed and possible future improvements that may benefit the grain processor are pointed out. Literature data are given for: composition of whole sorghum grain and hand-dissected fractions; amino acid analyses; amino acid composition of sorghum endosperm meal and protein fractions; lipid analysis of grain sorghums; carotenoid content of sorghum grain; 2-dimensional chromatogram of anthocyanogens and carotenoids in yellow-endosperm sorghum cross.
