Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Biochemical evaluation of different sorghum genotypes for high mineral and crude fiber contentâ€was carried out in the laboratory of Department of Biochemistry N.D. University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) during the year 2015-16 in Completely Randomized Design with three replications. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is one of the staple food crops consumed by large population in India.The various biochemical parameters such as carbohydrates, mineral content, total amino acids and crude fiber were estimated and it was found that germplasm S-10 showed maximum value of carbohydrate (72.50%), germplasm S-4 exhibited maximum value of mineral content (3.40%), germplasm S-4 showed maximum value of total amino acids (40.20%) and variety N-4 exhibited maximum value of crude fiber content (6.50%).
