Abstract

Sorghum allowed to ferment in water at 25 deg or 35 deg C had a relative nutritive value estimated with Tetrahymena pyriformis of 55.1 and 56.2 compared with 45.6 for unfermented grain. Methionine was 33.2, 34.5 and 9.1 and lysine 25.7, 26.8 and 11.3 mg/g nitrogen, respectively. Riboflavin 1.34 and niacin 68.4 mu g/g in control grain were not affected by fermentation
