Characterizing Selected Sorghum Grain Varieties and Evaluating the Suitability of Their Malt Extracts for Cultivating Microbial Biomass

Figure 1

Illustration of sorghum grain endosperm texture. (a) Corneous; (b) intermediate; (c) floury. The corneous endosperm is totally or >50% translucent endosperm. The intermediate endosperm has a continuous outer corneous endosperm comprising <50% of total endosperm while the inner endosperm is floury. The floury endosperm is totally floury or its outer corneous endosperm is very narrow and incomplete (adapted from Taylor and Taylor [22]).
