This study aims to determine the content of antioxidants, carbohydrates, and protein in Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) as an economically functional food ingredient during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research stages include the manufacture of sorghum seed extract, Antioxidant level testing using the DPPH test, carbohydrate content testing, and protein content determination using the Kjeldahl method, the Kjeldahl method consists of 3 stages, namely: the destruction stage, the distillation stage, and the titration stage. The results showed that Sorghum had an IC50 value of 88.8970 ppm, carbohydrate content of 71.8 g, and protein content of 9.68%. so that sorghum has the potential to develop functional food during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This research aimed to determine the influence of various doses of urea fertilizer on the chemical characteristics of mutant sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) grain varieties Samurai1, Samurai-2, and Pahat. A Fully Randomized Factorial Design was used by employing two factors and three replications. The three varieties of mutant sorghum grain served as the first factor while four doses (i.e., 0, 30, 60, and 90 kg/ha) of urea fertilizer administration served as the second factor. The parameters in the chemical test on the sorghum grain include ash, total protein, amylum, reducing sugar, dissolved protein, and tannin contents. The administration of urea fertilizer significantly influenced the increase in the ash, amylum, reducing sugar, and dissolved protein contents of Samurai-1 but did not significantly do so to such contents of Samurai-2 and Pahat. The urea fertilizer dose of 90 kg/ha gave the best results of the chemical composition of the three types of mutant sorghum grain. Chemically, mutant sorghum flour of the three varieties is qualified as a quality food ingredient with Samurai-1 being the best of the three varieties, in that case, possessing total protein content of 7.90%, amylum (or starch) content of 14.51%, dissolved protein content of 2.38%, reducing sugar content of 2.88%, and tannin content of 0.70%.

The changes which occurred in grain protein content with maturity of three sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) genotypes were investigated at four nitrogen (N) application levels, 0, 35, 70 and 140 kg/ha. Three sorghum genotypes (RCFA × L.187, L.187 and SK 5912) were field-grown at Samaru, Zaria, Nigeria. Grain was sampled at 10, 17, 24 and 67 days after anthesis and grain protein was determined by Kjeldahl methods. The concentration of grain protein of RCFA × L.187 and L.187 increased up to 24 days after anthesis with a peak at 17 days after anthesis in 1977 while in SK 5912, the highest concentration was at 10 days after anthesis in that year. In 1978, the concentration trend was similar to that in 1977 but the behavior of SK 5912 was erratic because an increase in grain protein concentration occurred at 17 days after anthesis only in plants grown on soil supplied with 35 and 70 kg N/ha. In all other treatments, the grain protein concentration of this genotype decreased from 10 to 67 days after anthesis. However, total grain protein yield per hectare increased significantly in all genotypes at harvest over that at 10 days after anthesis.Key words: Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, protein content, genotypes, maturity

A pot experiment was conducted to determine the effects of varying Cr (VI) levels [0.0–4.0 mg Cr (VI) kg-1 soil in the form of potassium dichromate] on the some quality parameters of sorghum Sorghum bicolor (L.). Quality parameters was measured in terms of protein content, chlorophyll content, and IVDMD ( In vitro dry matter digestibility) content at different growth stages, i.e. 35 DAS, 70 DAS and 90 DAS (Days after sowing) that were adversely affected with an increase in Cr (VI) levels from 0.0 to 4.0 mg Cr (VI) kg-1 soil. The decline in protein content 4.67 g/ kg dry weight at T4 was observed as compared to control (T1) ( 8.96 g/kg dry weight basis) at 35 DAS in leaves , Total chlorophyll content declined from 3.25 mg g-1 fresh weight (T1) to 2.40 mg g-1 fresh weight (T4) at 35 DAS and IVDMD content declined from 43.60 to 33.60 per cent dry weight basis with increment in chromium concentration. It is concluded that Cr (VI) at higher doses (4.0 mg Cr (VI) kg-1 soil) adversly affects the quality parameters of Forage sorghum Sorghum bicolor (L.) however, quality parameters are responsible for nutritive value of sorghum Sorghum bicolor (L.).

This study aims to determine the proximate value of Sonneratia alba mangrove flour. The flour was made from young (d ≤ 3 cm) and old S. alba fruit. S. alba fruit were collected from Desa Wori, Kec.Wori, Kab. Minahasa Selatan, North Sulawesi. The measured parameters were moisture content by the oven method, the ash content by the dry ashing method, the protein content by the Kjeldahl method; fat content by the Soxhlet method and carbohydrate content were calculated by difference. The results showed that the proximate content of young S. alba fruit flour was 10.53% of moisture, 5.18% ash, 8.735 protein, 1.44% fat and 74.12% carbohydrate. The proximate content of old S. alba mangrove flour was moisture content 9.63%, ash 5.39%, protein 8.34%, fat 1.54% and carbohydrate 75.1%. Moiture and protein content of young S. alba mangrove flour is slightly higher compared to old S. alba mangrove flour. Meanwhile, ash, fat and carbohydrate content of old S. alba mangrove flour is slightly higher compared to young S. alba mangrove flour. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kadar proksimat pada tepung buah mangrove Sonneratia alba muda (d ≤ 3 cm) dan proksimat tepung buah mangrove S. alba tua (d ≥ 3cm) yang diambil di Desa Wori Kecamatan Wori Kabupaten Minahasa Utara Sulawesi Utara.
