Two sorghum genotypes (red, tannin; white, non-tannin), were evaluated for their potential use in
breakfast cereals. Two levels of whole grain sorghum our (550 g/kg dry mix or 700 g/kg dry mix) were
processed per genotype using a pilot-scale, twin screw extruder. A whole grain oat-based cereal was used
as a reference. White sorghum cereals (WSC) had signicantly (p < 0.05) higher starch, brightness (L*),
and yellowness (b*) than red sorghum cereals (RSC). RSC had higher protein and bulk density than the
WSC. Cereals made with 700 g sorghum our/kg were smaller and denser with lower water solubility
and absorption indices than those made with 550 g/kg. In vitro protein digestibility of the RSC (43e58%)
was signicantly reduced compared with the WSC (69e73%) and the reference sample (72%). WSC with
700 g sorghum our/kg contained signicantly more resistant starch than the RSC cereals and the oat
reference (208 g/kg starch versus 81e147 g/kg starch, respectively). Overall acceptability and texture of
sorghum cereals did not differ signicantly from the oat reference, although appearance and aroma
liking were signicantly reduced. Therefore, non-tannin sorghum has potential to be used in the
breakfast cereal industry with minimal impact on nutritional prole and sensory properties.

1. Introduction
When used as human food, sorghum has traditionally been
consumed as porridge, atbread, couscous, and alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages (Murty & Kumar, 1995). Sorghum has not been
widely used in the production of ready-to-eat (RTE) breakfast cereals, despite a similar chemical composition to grains that are
typically used for RTE cereals, such as maize, oats, rice, and wheat
(Serna-Saldivar & Rooney, 1995; Welch, 2011).
Part of the lack of acceptance of sorghum-based foods in the
industry is that they are perceived as a nutritionally inferior crop.
For instance, sorghum has long been recognized as having poor
protein digestibility. Kurien, Narayanarao, Swaminathan, and
Subrahmanyan (1960) compared digestibility of sorghum and rice

retention time was 3 min for each pass (total dryer retention time of
6 min). Dry cereal pieces at about 30 g water per kg cereal (wet
basis) exiting the dryer were conveyed through a 4 m cooling
conveyor (ca. 1 min) to cool the cereal to ambient temperature
before packaging. Samples were packaged in polyethylene bags and
stored at room temperature.
All cereals were compared against a commercially-available
whole grain oat-based RTE cereal (Cheerios, General Mills, Minneapolis, MN USA), designated oat reference (OAT_R). Although the
production techniques were different for this commercial sample
compared to those used for the sorghum cereal, it was included as a
familiar reference sample to what is an established and successful
whole grain RTE breakfast cereal available on the market.
2.3. Analysis of cereals
Bulk density was calculated by weighing the quantity of cereal
pieces required to ll a level quart cup (Seedburo, Chicago, IL USA).
Cereal ring dimensions were measured using digital calipers
(Model CD-600 CSX, Mitutoyo, Tokyo, Japan). Twenty pieces of cereal
were randomly selected from each treatment set. Two outerdiameter measurements were taken perpendicular to each other
and designated as major and minor axes depending on length
(Miller, Jeong, & Maningat, 2011). To determine elongation, the
ratio of the major axis to the minor axis was calculated.
Samples of the cereals from each treatment were milled through
a cyclone mill equipped with a 1 mm screen (Model 4425, UDY, Fort
Collins, CO, USA) for additional analyses. Moisture, ash, lipids,
starch, sucrose, free glucose, dietary ber, protein, tannins, and
color, were determined using the methods described for the our
(Section 2.1). Water solubility index (WSI) and WAI were determined as described by Peplinski and Pfeifer (1970) with modications. A ground sample (2.5 g) was extracted with 30 mL of distilled
water for 30 min at 30 C with intermittent stirring. The samples
were then centrifuged at 5000 g for 10 min. Water soluble solids
were determined by carefully decanting the supernatant liquid into
a pre-weighed evaporating dish and drying at 103 C for 12 h. The
WSI was expressed as the weight of soluble solids recovered by
evaporating the supernatant liquid divided by the total weight of
supernatant liquid. The remaining gel was weighed and WAI was
expressed as kg gel/kg dry sample.
2.4. In vitro protein and starch digestibility
Milled cereals were analyzed for in vitro protein and starch digestibility. In vitro protein digestibility was determined using the
pepsin digestibility assay developed by Mertz et al. (1984) with
some modications. Briey, 400 mg of sample was suspended in
70 mL of a solution of pepsin (P-6887, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO
USA; 1.5 mg/mL) dissolved in 0.1 mol/L sodium phosphate buffer
(pH 2.0) and incubated with magnetic stirring at 37 C for 2 h. After
incubation, the mixture was neutralized with the addition of 3 mL
of 2 mol/L NaOH and then centrifuged (4200 g for 10 min). The
supernatant was discarded and the residue was washed and
centrifuged with 20 mL of 0.1 mol/L sodium phosphate buffer (pH
7.0). The washed residue was then dried overnight at 50 C and
analyzed for nitrogen content using combustion (FP528 nitrogen/
protein determinator, LECO, St. Joseph, MI USA). The percent protein digestibility was calculated using the following equation: %
digestibility [(initial N in sample e residual N)/initial N in
sample] 100%.
In vitro starch digestion was assayed as described (Mkandawire
et al., 2013). Starch digestion was divided into 3 fractions: rapidly
digestible starch (RDS), which was converted to glucose in the rst
20 min; slowly digestible starch (SDS), which was converted to

processing conditions. Our results are consistent with Vargasrzano et al. (2014) in suggesting that tannins do not affect
Solo
WSI or WAI.
The OAT_R had signicantly higher ash, protein, lipid, bulk
density and WAI but had lower starch content and WSI compared
to the sorghum cereals (Table 2). While comparisons between the
sorghum cereals and the OAT_R were made, it is important to note
that the OAT_R was formulated and processed differently from the
sorghum samples.
3.3. In vitro protein digestibility
RSC showed impaired protein digestibilities compared with
OAT_R and the WSC (Fig. 1). Additionally, higher sorghum our in
the RSC formulations resulted in lower protein digestibility. In
contrast to the RSC, the WSC showed protein digestibilities similar
to the OAT_R.
Sorghum proteins are known for their low protein digestibility
compared with other cereals (Mertz et al., 1984). The low protein
digestibility of the RSC is probably due to the inhibitory effects of
tannins, which have been well documented (Duodu, Taylor, Belton,
& Hamaker, 2002). It is noteworthy that the WSC had similar digestibility to the OAT_R sample, since many non-tannin sorghum
varieties still have poor protein digestibility (Duodu et al., 2002;
Mertz et al., 1984).
One unusual property of sorghum proteins is that digestibility
often decreases upon cooking in excess water (Hamaker, Kirleis,
Mertz, & Axtell, 1986). However, the present results support high
digestibility of sorghum protein after extrusion in the WSC, and
previous reports have shown that extrusion of sorghum increases
protein digestibility (Fapojuwo, Maga, & Jansen, 1987; Mertz et al.,
1984). Therefore the limited water and rapid processing time in
extrusion may avert the detrimental effects of cooking on sorghum
protein digestion.
3.4. In vitro starch digestibility
All samples showed similar RDS (Fig. 2). High starch digestibility
of extruded whole grain cereals has been reported previously
(Hernot, Boileau, Bauer, Swanson, & Fahey, 2008). Subtle differences were noted for the SDS and RS fractions among samples. In
general, WSC contained more RS, which was accounted for by a

4. Conclusions
In vitro digestibility of protein and some sensory properties
were signicantly negatively impacted by the use of tannincontaining red sorghum our in RTE cereals. In contrast, the use
of non-tannin white sorghum our in RTE cereals resulted in cereals with similar protein digestibility and sensory properties. The
cereals containing 700 g white sorghum our/kg also contained
more RS than a commercial RTE oat cereal. These results suggest
that whole grain non-tannin white sorghum may be used to create
RTE cereals with compositional and sensory qualities comparable
to a commercially available and successful RTE oat cereal. Future
studies should address the acceptability of sorghum-based cereals
in larger consumer tests.
