Abstract
Leaf tissue analysis of 47 sorghum lines after washing out interfering pigments did not show the presence of tannins. Leaf tissue of 16 lines contained polyvinylpyrrolidone-binding material with properties corresponding to monomeric flavan-4-ol. This leucoanthocyanidin was also present in seeds and was identified as apiforol. It yielded the yellow anthocyanidin, apigeninidin when heated in aq. acid and at low temp. in acid/alchohol mixtures was converted to an unidentified unstable pink anthocyanidin
