Relationships of grain sorghum quality factors (proximate composition and physical properties) to laboratory wet-milling attributes (fraction yields, protein content of fractions aud recovery values) of 24 grain sorghum commercial hybrids were determined. Initial water absorption rate was positively correlated with both starch and gluten recoveries (r>0.45), thus showing the greatest significance among all quality factors. The need to understand fully protein matrix breakdown relative to obtaining optimum separation of components was indicated. Positive correlations of residual protein in starch with density and percent abraded r>(0.45) were observed. Laboratory wet-milling attributes also were correlated among themselves. The highest positive correlations were observed among yield and recovery of starch and gluten (r>0.6). These four parameters had strong negative correlations with fiber/germ yield (r<-0.6). Principal component factor analysis identified five factors (named as matrix-breakdown effect, solids-leaching effect, protein-dispersion effect, protein content of gluten effect, and washing-solids effect) that explained 91% of the total variation among wet-milling attributes.
