Biochemical evaluations of Ethiopian sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] accessions for sugar production.

ABSTRACT: Sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is one of the varieties of sorghum having stalk with high concentration of soluble sugar. Biochemical evaluations of sweet sorghum enable it to determine the potential of the crop to be utilized for sugar production at industrial level. This study was designed to evaluate the Ethiopian sweet sorghum germplasms for production of crystalized sugar. In this study, 91 sweet sorghum accessions were evaluated based on total soluble sugar content. As a result, 8 accessions having high total soluble sugar scores were selected and evaluated for further biochemical quality traits. In addition, three agronomic parameters were used to evaluate their effect on the biochemical features of the studied sweet sorghum and sugarcane accessions. These traits include
