ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to know
the effect of germination on the nutrient content of functional properties of
sorghum. The sorghum sample was soaked at different periods 12, 18, 24, 36, 48,
and 72 and was replicated twice. The result of the proximate composition showed
that the Moisture Content (MC) in all the treatment were not significantly
different from each other and the decrease showed that the germination periods
affected the seed due to long soaking periods. There was an increase in the
carbohydrate which can promote the filling of being full. In the functional
properties result showed that the Water Absorption Capacity (WAC) were not
significantly different but the 36h, was different form other values, the
decrease in the water absorption capacity (WAC) was as a result of the seeds
absorbing more water than the should. The oil absorption capacity showed a
decrease due to too much oil was absorbed during the analysis.
