Abstract

The free, esterified and glycosylated sterols and triterpene esters of sorghum grains were analysed by gas-liquid chromatography. 4-demethylsterols were found free, esterified and glycosidated. 4-monomethylsterols were found completely free whereas the triterpenes were completely esterified. Three-quarters of the total sterols in the grain were located in the embryo while the triterpenes were equally distributed between the embryo and endosperm
