Abstract

Because of the increased interest in the use of sorghum starch for industrial in Queensland, a survey of the starch content of grain sorghum grown in a number of Queensland districts was made. Forty-six samples, comprising 29 of Alpha, 12 of Texas 610, 3 of Brolga and 2 of Early Kalo, were analysed. At levels of about 8-10%, grain protein appears to be a fairly good index of starch content of sorghum grain grown in Queensland.
