Abstract

Pearled sorghum, 6 varieties, contained per 100 g, with percentage losses due to pearling in parentheses, ash 1.42 (35) g, P 223 (37), Mg 108 (36), Ca 9.2 (35), Fe 3.7 (13) mg, Zn 11.4 (54), Cu 2.7 (40), Mn 8.7 (22), Mo 0.41 (29) and Cr 0.13 (26) mu g. Availability of iron, estimated as ionizable Fe at pH 7.5, improved by 9 to 22% after pearling which removes the outer bran layers
