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">...

Sorghum Phytochemicals and Their Potential Impact on Human Health

Sorghum is a rich source of various phytochemicals including tannins, phenolic acids, anthocyanins, phytosterols and policosa-nols. These phytochemicals have potential to significantly impact human health. Sorghum fractions possess high antioxidant activity in vitro relative to other cereals or fruits. These fractions may offer similar health benefits commonly associated with fruits. Available epidemiological evidence suggests that<a class="excerpt-read-more" href="https://nulifemarket.com/sorghum-phytochemicals/" title="ReadSorghum Phytochemicals and Their Potential Impact on Human Health">...
