A comprehensive study of sorghum bran and flour was performed to explore the secondary metabolite profiles of differently coloured genotypes and to evaluate the variability in the antioxidant properties based on differences in polarity and solubility. This research included one red variety and one white variety. Among the samples, the red variety contained significantly greater amounts of secondary metabolites than did the white variety, with total polyphenol contents of 808.04 ± 63.89 mg.100 g-1 and 81.56 ± 3.87 mg.100 g-1, respectively. High-molecular-weight condensed tannin-type flavonoid extracts with high antioxidant activity were obtained by using relatively low-polarity acetone-water solvents, which was reflected by the measured antioxidant values. Among the methods used, the electron-donating Trolox equivalent antioxidant assay provided the highest antioxidant capacity, with values ranging from 118.5 to 182.6 μmol g−1 in the case of the red variety, in accordance with the electron donor properties of condensed tannins. Key secondary metabolites were identified using MS techniques and quantified using HPLC. Catechin and procyanidin B1 were found in the red variety at concentrations of 3.20 and 96.11 mg.100 g-1, respectively, while the concentrations in the white variety were under the limit of detection. All four tocopherols were found in sorghum, with the red variety containing a higher amount than the white variety, but the vitamin B complex concentrations were higher in the white variety. Overall, the red sorghum variety proved to be a better source of secondary metabolites with potential health benefits and could be used as a nutrient-rich food source. |
