Effects of germination and lactic acid fermentation on nutritional and rheological properties of sorghum: A graphical review

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a nutritional grain considered an important source of micro- and macro-nutrients. Also, the flour obtained from sorghum is considered a suitable substitute for wheat flour for celiac disease patients due it is gluten-free. However, its use has some limitations due to ant...

description Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a nutritional grain considered an important source of micro- and macro-nutrients. Also, the flour obtained from sorghum is considered a suitable substitute for wheat flour for celiac disease patients due it is gluten-free. However, its use has some limitations due to anti-nutritional factors such as tannins, phytates, trypsin inhibitors, and protein crosslinkers. To prevent those effects, new strategies for sorghum processing have been explored. Germination of this grain has been shown to increase nutrient content further and reduce anti-nutrients. In addition, fermentation with lactic acid bacteria could modify starch and protein digestion in sorghum flour and increase their nutrient availability. Although there are many benefits to germination and fermentation, more research must be done to improve the products' texture and sensory properties to gain wider consumer acceptance. In this review, the mechanism behind changes in the nutritional and anti-nutritional profile of sorghum grain due to germination and fermentation treatments is shown, and the impact of these changes on dough rheological properties and bread quality.
