Abstract
Most of the tannin in seeds of high-tannin bird-resistant group III sorghums [Sorghum bicolor] extracts readily into methanol or aqueous acetone. In contrast, tannin of group II sorghums is not extracted by these solvents but is extracted by methanol containing 1% (v/v) HCl. Group II sorghums have been reported to be nutritionally less harmful than group III types, presumably due to differences in their tannins. Purified tannin from a group II sorghum (IS 8768) was compared with tannin purified from a group III sorghum (DeKalb BR 64). No significant differences were found in the properties of the purified tannins. Tannin extractable only in acidic methanol is present along with methanol-extractable tannin in most group III sorghums, especially in immature grain. The differentially extractable tannins do not appear to have a precursor/product relationship
