Characteristics of the nutritional value of grain sorghum varieties by biochemical composition

Abstract

The article discusses the results of a study of the biochemical composition of sorghum grain of varieties of selection of the Russian Research and Design Technological Institute of Sorghum and Maize. The main parameters that characterize the biological value of grain crops have been studied: protein, fat, minerals, fiber, nitrogen-free extractives, including starch. The varieties containing the greatest amount of protein and sugars were identified, and recommendations were given for their further use in the agro-industrial complex.
