FPW: free phenolics from wholegrain sorghum; FPB: free phenolics from sorghum bran; BPW: bound phenolics from wholegrain sorghum; BFB: bound phenolics from sorghum bran; TPC: total phenolic content (μg GAE/g); Total HCA: total hydroxycinnamic acids content (μg/g); ND: not detected. Each value is the mean of three replicates ± the standard deviation (SD). Different superscript letters in the same column represent significant differences () between free and bound fractions from WG and SB.
