Thirty-eight cultures of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor, Poaceae) at dead-ripe stage showed that the cultures IS 6962, IS 9889, PR 4579, and IS 707 contained higher amounts of total sugars per 100 ml of extractable juice. But total sugar yield was found to be high (>200 kg/ha) in IS 715, IS 724, IS 6962, and IS 9901. Though upper internodes contained comparatively higher sugar content than the bottom internodes, the seventh internode had the maximum. A highly positive correlation (+0.9828) was found to exist between total sugars and sucrose in the internodes. Fermentation of juice from IS 6962 yielded 240 litre of alcohol/ha. Roasted chickpea candies prepared from syrup of 73o brix resembled that from jaggery in taste and flavour.
