This book is mainly based on the latest research results and applications of sorghum food in human diet and gets good health benefits from it. Sorghum has several medical properties and cures several diseases as mentioned in the index. Sorghum grains can be converted in various indigenous food products and include in the daily human diet. Some of the specific sorghum components when added to foods, antioxidants control rancidity development, retard the formation of toxic oxidation products, maintain nutritional quality and extend the shelf-life of products. Sorghum diet is useful for curing cancer, diabetic disorder and so many other aliments also. In addition, sources of other beneficial components of sorghum are also discussed in detail. Sorghum is the only one cereal sustain under drought situation and gives definite yield under rain-fed condition. During current climate change situation sorghum is the best drought resistant crop for getting definite amount of grain yield.
This book is mainly based on the latest research results and applications of phenolic and polyphenolic compounds. Phenolic compounds, ubiquitous in plants, are an essential part of the human diet and are of considerable interest due to their antioxidant properties and potential beneficial health effects. These compounds range structurally from a simple phenolic molecule to complex high-molecular-weight polymers. There is increasing evidence that consumption of a variety of phenolic compounds present in foods may lower the risk of health disorders because of their antioxidant activity. When added to foods, antioxidants control rancidity development, retard the formation of toxic oxidation products, maintain nutritional quality and extend the shelf-life of products. Due to safety concerns and limitation on the use of synthetic antioxidants, natural antioxidants obtained from edible materials, edible by-products and residual sources have been of increasing interest. This contribution summarizes both the synthetic and natural phenolic antioxidants, emphasizing their mode of action, health effects, degradation products and toxicology. In addition, sources of phenolic antioxidants are discussed in detail.
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. - Provides detailed biochemical studies on grain sorghum to inform researchers grappling with similar issues - Offers foundational information on the quality and composition of sorghum as a grain - Covers a variety of uses for sorghum in many industries, including food and beverage, energy, and brewing - Includes photos and illustrations to enhance the understanding of processes and sorghum biochemistry

Secondary products are generally small molecules when compared to the size of macro molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Nowadays secondary metabolites are getting very important place in human diet because they are acting as a nutraceutical and having several medicinal properties. Secondary metabolic products from plants are classified in many different ways - by their function, by the species from which it is derived; or by chemical composition. Secondary metabolites have economic value in modern industry. They are natural sources to chemical compounds important in the pharmaceutical industry, precursors to important vitamins and raw material to many industrial products. Pigments are chemical compounds which reflect only certain wavelengths of visible light. This makes them appear "colourful." They interact with light to absorb only certain wavelengths; pigments are useful to plants and other autotrophs organisms which make their own food using photosynthesis. In this book 20 chapters are giving information on plants secondary metabolites and 12 chapters on plant pigments. Plants secondary metabolites and pigments history, biosynthesis, structures and their benefits to the human being by various forms are discussed in details. Therefore, I hope this book will be useful to under-graduate as well as post-graduate students in Science Faculty, in Agriculture, Food Science and Technology, Food Engineering, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Horticulture, Home Science and Industrial Sectors.
