Black & Sumac Sorghum Brans Have More Antioxidants

Study Finds That Sorghum Bran Has More Antioxidants Than Blueberries, Pomegranates A new University of Georgia study has found that select varieties of sorghum bran such as black sorghum bran and sumac sorghum bran have greater antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties than well-known foods such as blueberries and pomegranates.

Novel Food and Non-Food Uses for Sorghum and Millets

Sorghum and millets have considerable potential in foods and beverages. As they are gluten-free they are suitable for coeliacs. Sorghum is also a potentially important source of nutraceuticals such antioxidant phenolics and cholesterol-lowering waxes. Cakes,cookies, pasta, a parboiled rice-like product and snack foods have been successfully produced from sorghum and, in some cases, millets.

Yield and Phytosterol Composition of Oil Extracted from Grain Sorghum and Its Wet-Milled Fractions

Corn fiber contains an oil with high levels of three potential cholesterol-lowering phytosterol compounds. Little information is available about the levels and types of phytosterols in sorghum. In this study, phytosterols were evaluated in grain sorhgum and its wet-milled fractions and were compared with the phytosterols in corn. The study showed that sorghum kernels can<a class="excerpt-read-more" href="https://nulifemarket.com/phytosterol-composition-sorghum/" title="ReadYield and Phytosterol Composition of Oil Extracted from Grain Sorghum and Its Wet-Milled Fractions">...

A Novel Nutraceutical Property of Select Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) Brans

Despite the high levels of polyphenolic phytochemicals in grain sorghum and its position as a major food staple, there has been a lack of research on its effects on both animal and human health and disease prevention. These phenolic compounds, mainly located in the bran fraction, result in the plant having substantial antioxidant properties.

Chemopreventive Potential of Sorghum With Different Phenolic Profiles

Epidemiological evidence has correlated consumption of sorghum with reduced incidences of gastrointestinal (GI) tract cancer, especially esophageal cancer. There is little evidence on how phenols of sorghum may affect chemoprevention. Seventeen sorghum varieties were screened for phenolic profiles and antioxidant capacity. The ability of crude sorghum extracts to induce NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (QR, a phase II<a class="excerpt-read-more" href="https://nulifemarket.com/chemopreventive-sorghum/" title="ReadChemopreventive Potential of Sorghum With Different Phenolic Profiles">...

Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Black & Sumac Sorghum Brans

The bran fractions of certain varieties of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) grain such as black sorghum bran and sumac sorghum bran are rich sources of phytochemicals and antioxidants. In this article, the anti-inflammatory actions of extracts of select sorghum brans were evaluated in two experimental inflammatory systems: (1) the release of cytokines by lipopolysaccharide-activated peripheral blood<a class="excerpt-read-more" href="https://nulifemarket.com/anti-inflammatory-sorghum/" title="ReadAnti-Inflammatory Activity of Black & Sumac Sorghum Brans">...
