Abstract
Two varieties of Sorghum vulgare, milo and jowar, have been studied. Samples cooked at neutral pH gave total niacin values of 46 and 29 mg/kg, respectively, on an air-dry basis. In extracts made from these at neutral pH and fractionated after gel-filtration, most of the niacin was in high molecular weight (i.e., bound) forms. In a bioassay for niacin, the boiled milo gave a growth response equivalent to 34% of its total niacin being available to young rats. Sorghum has behaved similarly to other mature cereal grains in these tests of niacin availability
