Abstract
In sorghum grain, polyphenols are located primarily in the pericarp and the testa. Genes regulating pericarp colour and presence of the testa exist. Bird-resistant sorghums have a pigmented testa containing condensed tannins that remain in the kernel at maturity. In nonbird-resistant sorghums, the testa is resorbed during maturation. The endosperm of some white, colourless sorghums contains colour precursors that turn greenish-black when exposed to alkali. Variation in colour, changes in structure during maturation, polyphenol content, and nutritive value of sorghum genotypes are reviewed
