Research Project: INVESTIGATION OF THE STRUCTURE OF SORGHUM TANNINS AND ANTI-OXIDANT ACTIVITY IN FOOD PRODUCTS

Location: Grain Quality and Structure Research

Project Number: 5430-44000-017-05
Project Type: Specific Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Sep 14, 2004
End Date: Jun 27, 2009

Objective:
Elucidate the structural composition of sorghum tannin and relate that to anti-oxidant capacity and effects on food quality (e.g. beef quality).

Approach:
Investigate methods for isolating grain sorghum tannins. Characterize phenolic compound chemistry and functionality. Characterize sorghum phenolic compounds functionality in food and industrial products.
