Sorghum beyond the food supply

Sorghum Biochemistry: An Industrial Perspective maps the grain’s role across food science, processing, and industrial production. Alongside its physical and biochemical properties, the book addresses post-harvest handling and value addition, connecting those processes to applications including brewing, ethanol, beverages, packing materials, wallboard, and waxes. Sweet sorghum’s use as a bioenergy crop also places renewable-energy applications within the discussion. With sorghum’s established importance as a staple in Africa and Asia as part of its context, the volume frames the crop as a raw material whose uses extend well beyond human and animal consumption.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Food science and food-processing students or professionals
  • Researchers working on cereal chemistry, post-harvest processing, or value addition
  • Readers interested in sorghum-based biofuels and industrial applications

Book overview

Sorghum Biochemistry: An Industrial Perspective explores the many uses for sorghum in industry and biofuels. Not only does it offer a detailed understanding of the physical and biochemical qualities of the grain, it also takes an in-depth look at the role sorghum plays in such industries as brewing and ethanol production and the mechanics of post-harvest processing and value addition.

Sorghum has long been an important staple in Africa and Asia, but its value goes far beyond its uses in human and animal consumption. Sorghum is also used in many industries, including waxes, packing material, wall board, ethanol, beverages, and brewing, and one variety called sweet sorghum has also been used as a bioenergy crop. Sorghum Biochemistry: An Industrial Perspective offers a closer look at how the grain is used in such a variety of ways, and how we can continue to optimize its potential.
