Sorghum contains a wide array of phytochemicals and their levels are affected by the genotype. Phytochemicals identified in sorghum include phenolic acids, flavonoids, condensed tannins, polycosanols, phytosterols, stilbenes, and phenolamides. Most of these phytochemicals are concentrated in the bran fraction and have been shown to have several potential health benefits, which include antidiabetic, cholesterol-lowering, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. This chapter gives an overview of sorghum genetics relevant to phytochemicals, phytochemicals identified in sorghum grain, and their potential health benefits.
高粱含有多种植物化学物质，其含量受基因型影响。高粱中鉴定出的植物化学物质包括酚酸、黄酮类化合物、缩合单宁、多元醇、植物甾醇、芪类化合物和酚酰胺。这些植物化学物质大多集中在麸皮部分，并已显示出具有多种潜在的健康益处，包括抗糖尿病、降胆固醇、抗炎和抗癌特性。本章概述了与植物化学物质相关的高粱遗传学、高粱籽粒中鉴定出的植物化学物质及其潜在的健康益处。
