Abstract

Sorghum seed contains unique bioactive compounds on par with other
cereals. Bioactive compounds in plants can be defined as secondary plant
metabolites. The secondary bioactive compounds in plants appear to be
randomly synthesized but they are not useless junk. They can be used as
anantimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activity. Hence, In the
present study, we have investigated to estimate the total bioactive
compounds in selected genotypes by using spectrophotometer to
quantitative and qualitative assay on six different genotypes including non
pigmented (IS 3477, IS 33095, IS 7005) pigmented (IS 2898, IS 7155, IS
1202). The range of bioactive compounds between the pigmented and non
pigmented genotypes detected high amount of total Polyphenols, Tannins,
Flavonoids, Carotenoids and Anthocyaninsi.e.,40.33 ± 0.98-96.24 ± 1.97
mg GAE/100 gm, 26.61 ± 1.00-88.42 ± 1.89 mg TAE/100 gm, 2.16 ± 0.15-
8.48 ± 0.16mg QUE/100 gm, 2.35 ± 0.10-21.20 ± 0.38 β-CAE/100 gm, 2.31
± 0.22-8.49 ± 0.52C-3-G mg/100 gm respectively. Among the genotypes,
pigmented genotypes showed high levels of bioactive compounds than non
pigmented genotypes.
