Abstract Introduction. Grain sorghum is one of the most common cereals. Usually used for technical purposes. The products of grain processing are gluten-free, so the study of the biochemical component of sorghum cereals is relevant. Methods. Laboratory, chemical, physicochemical, statistical, computational. Results. Carbohydrates represent the largest part of whole grain sorghum cereals – 68.0–70.2 % depending on the variety. The share of starch in carbohydrates was 95–96 %. The protein content varied from 8.0 to 8.5 % depending on the variety of grain sorghum. The lowest glucose content was 0.70–0.89 %. Of the studied vitamins, whole grain sorghum contained the least B9 – 0.18–0.25 × 10–3, depending on the variety. The highest content of vitamin B3 – 4.46–4.52 mg/100 g of cereal. The content of vitamin B2 was from 0.04 to 0.06 and vitamins B1, B6, E, B5 – 0.25–0.55 mg/100 g of cereal. Of the studied mineral elements, whole grains contained the least copper – 0.010–0.012 mg/100 g. The potassium content was the highest – 310–322 mg/100 g of cereals. The content of magnesium varied from 106 to 125, sulfur – from 72 to 85; calcium – from 10 to 12, the content of manganese and iron – from 1.10 to 3.20 mg/100 g of grain sorghum. The content of leucine in the composition of essential amino acids was the highest – 1,070–1,090 % depending on the variety of grain sorghum. Tryptophan was the least – 0.103–0.150 %. The amount of essential amino acids varied from 2.963 to 3.688 %, and the metabolic rate – from 0.55 to 0.75 depending on the variety of grain sorghum. The content of glutamic acid in the composition of substitute amino acids was the highest – 1,698–1,747 % depending on the variety. The histidine content was the lowest – 0.140–0.165 %. Conclusions. Whole grain sorghum contains 65.0–68.0 % of starch, 8.0–8.5 % of protein, 5.0–6.1 % of dietary fiber, 2.3–3.2 % of fat, and ash of 1.15–1.35, glucose – 0.70–0.87 % depending on the variety. The main carboxylic acid is linoleic – 1,300–1,333 %. The main monounsaturated acid is oleic, and in the composition of saturated fatty acids – palmitic – 0.415–0.435 %, depending on the variety of grain sorghum. It was founding that 100 g of grain sorghum grain most satisfies the biological need for vitamin B3 – by 31.9–32.3 % depending on the variety. The integrated rate for vitamin B1 varies from 22.7 to 30.0 %, and for vitamin B6 – from 23.8 to 24.6 %. Calculations show that 100 g of whole grains most satisfy the biological need for magnesium – by 46.1–54.3 %. The integrated rate for iron varied from 21.4 to 22.9 %, and manganese – from 11.0 to 12.8 % depending on the variety of grain sorghum. Of the essential amino acids, the greatest daily requirement of 100 g of cereals is meting by leucine – by 23.3–23.7 %. In the composition of substituted amino acids, the highest integral score was for proline – 13.3–14.5 %.
