Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Twenty-two diverse sorghum landraces, classified as normal and opaque types obtained from Ethiopia, were characterised for grain quality parameters using near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS), chemical and Rapid Visco-Analyzer (RVA) characteristics. RESULTS: Protein content ranged from 77 to 182 g kg(-1), and starch content from 514 to 745 g kg(-1). The NIRS analysis indicated the pig faecal digestible...
