Abstract
Determination of Ihe protein content and amino acid composition of sorghum grain indicates variations due to hybrids and location. Protein values, N X 6.25, ranged from 8.65 to 12.50% Analyses by ion exchange procedures of 30 samples of grain sorghums representing 15 different hybrids grown at two locations show variations in amino acid content. Statistical analysis of the amino acid data, per- cent of sample and per cent of amino acid in the protein, indicated significant differences (P < 0.05) in amino acid level due to hybrids. A significant (P < 0.05) location effect was found for the amino acids as per cent of the sample. Of amino acids important from a nutritive standpoint, methionine ranged from 1.22 to 1.97% and lysine from 1.81 to 2.49% of the protein.
