Research Project:
SORGHUM UTILIZATION FOR CANCER PREVENTION
Location: Grain Quality and Structure Research
Project Number: 5430-44000-017-06
Project Type:
Specific Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Jul 01, 2005
End Date: Jun 30, 2009
Objective:
Investigate the composition of sorghum bran with emphasis on phytochemical compounds. Investigate the ability of compounds in sorghum bran to reduce preneoplastic lesions of colon cancer.
Approach:
Isolate sorghum bran using abrasive decortication. Characterize compounds in sorghum bran. Use bran fractions in rat feeding trials to evaluate effects on reducing colon cancer lesions.
