Understanding biodiversity in sorghums to support the development of high value bio-based products in sub-Saharan Africa

摘要: Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is one of the most important cereals worldwide with great genetic diversity. Like small grains it has good adaptation to drought prone and marginal areas were other are not productive. Globally, sorghum been underutilized compared cereal staple crops however, there growing interest in its related products due unique nutritional traits, crop physiology phenology. Given variability scope use produce an array commodities food, feed, industrial bioenergy sector. This review paper presents diversity special reference bio-based value added such as gluten free, high protein, aromatic, syrup, popping, weaning, pet baked alcohol free malt beverages that can be explored Africa popularize improve livelihoods.
