Abstract

This study defines effectual methodologies to measure the antioxidant activity of Sorghum. Some different types of phenol with fluctuating properties exist, but their relatively diminutive exertion to establish the potential of these compounds in human health has been reported. Antioxidants are used for the reserve process of oxidation. These are primarily used in food preservation and in the petroleum industry to protect them from corrosion. Of all the cereals, sorghum has the capability to be bred specifically to produce high levels of different phenol that can be easily concentrated by simple processes. This special sorghum has reasonable grain yields and agronomic traits that make them productive and economical. Different methods are being used to determine these compounds, such as the DPPH method, ABTS, and ORAC technique. The prospect is good, but significant investment is required to make obvious feeding trials and their health-endorsing characteristics.

Keywords
