Resumen
Descripción
In Brazil, we can highlight ethanol as one of the main sources of renewable fuel. Lately, the ethanol industry has once again become the focus of attention with the search for new raw materials to optimize its production. In that regard Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench is a potential alternative to produce ethanol due to its similarity with corn. Our laboratory is investigating different Sorghum cultivars to produce biofuels and biochemicals. This work aims to report our progress in characterizing and discriminating four different cultivars: SC084, CMSXS180, BRS501 and BRS305. Among these, the main differences are in the tannin contents (SC084, BRS305), and origin: lines (SC084, CMSXS180) or hybrid (BRS501, BRS305).
