چکیده

Four different sorghum varieties “Moskwar” MSK, “Yellow short kaura” YSK, “Jigari” JGR and “Kilburi” KLB were malted at room temperature. They had different malting losses, ranging from 5.4% to 10.6%, `moisture content of malt varies from 5.2% to 11.1%. The values of hot water extractable was from 4.0g/l to 6.7g/l. Similar values of cold water extractables of 2.0g/100g was observed in all the varieties. The diastatic power (dp) ranged between 13°L to 18°L. The mashing of four sorghum varieties with exogenous enzymes sources, sweet potato (Ipomea batatas) and yellow yam (Discorea cayenesis) showed an increase in the amounts of reducing sugar compared with the untreated malt. The disastatic power of sweet potato was 99°L and that of yellow yam was 69°L.

The role of sucrose metabolizing proteins in hyperosmotic stress tolerance in sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench)

Sugar accumulation is a common metabolic response under drought stress conditions. However, studies on the underlying molecular mechanisms of sugar accumulation under stress remain restricted. This study explores the role of sucrose metabolizing proteins in conferring tolerance to drought-induced hyperosmotic stress, and ultimately osmotic adjustment in sorghum. The effect of stress on sugar co...

The role of exogenous enzymes in promoting growth and improving nutrient digestibility in poultry

The value of dietary exogenous enzymes in promoting growth and efficiency of feed utilization is well recognized in poultry industry. In a case of high-cost yellow corn, several feed producers are choosing to replace yellow corn with other ingredients that have lower nutritional value like triticale, wheat, barley or sorghum. These crops are rich in non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs), and there ...

DOR: 98.1000/2383-1251.1398.6.1.11.1. 1575.41 Extended Abstract Introduction: Strangle wort (Cynanchum acutum) is a perennial weed that could be propagated by seeds and vegetative organs. This brings about harvesting problems for some crops such as cotton, sugar beet, wheat and maize. In recent years, this weed has caused huge losses in sugar cane fields. The role of environmental condition...
