Couverture de l’ouvrage Sorghum and Millets

Sorghum and Millets: Chemistry, Technology and Nutritional Attributes, Second Edition, is a new, fully revised edition of this widely read book published by AACC International. With an internationally recognized editorial team, this new edition covers, in detail, the history, breeding, production, grain chemistry, nutritional quality and handling of sorghum and millets. Chapters focus on biotechnology, grain structure and chemistry, nutritional properties, traditional and modern usage in foods and beverages, and industrial and non-food applications.

The book will be of interest to academics researching all aspects of sorghum and millets, from breeding to usage. In addition, it is essential reading for those in the food industry who are tasked with the development of new products using the grains.

John Taylor is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, specializing in grain science and alleviation of micronutrient malnutrition.



John is author of numerous scientific papers and book chapters on sorghum, millets and other grains. He was editor-in-chief of the Journal of Cereal Science from 2018-2021. He has co-edited a monograph on Ancient Grains and the second edition of Sorghum and Millets: Chemistry, Technology and Nutritional Attributes. He is presently co-editing a handbook on modern cereal science and technology.



He is an Honorary President of the International Association for Cereal Science and Technology (ICC), and fellow of ICC, the Cereal and Grains Association and the International Academy of Food Science and Technology, and 2021 was recipient of the T.B. Osborne Medal from the Cereals and Grains Association.
Kwaku Gyebi Duodu is Professor of Food Science and Head of the Department of Consumer and Food Sciences, University of Pretoria, South Africa. He is involved in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in Food Chemistry and Food Engineering. His research focuses on the health-promoting properties of African grains and their foods and he investigates the metabolomic profiling, chemistry and bioactivity of phenolic compounds. He also has research interest in nutritional aspects of African grain-based foods with focus on mineral bioaccessibility and protein quality. Gyebi co-edited the second edition of Sorghum and Millets: Chemistry, Technology and Nutritional Attributes. He serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Cereal Science and the Journal of Food Composition and Analysis.
