Abstract
This study examines the soaking on chromium content in Sorghum grains. Samples were soaked in water for varying durations and the chromium levels were analyzed using A.A.S., Results shows a significant decrease in chromium content with soaking time and an range of loss of 1.2% to 7.7% from 100g of the cereal after 2 to 24 hours. This finding has important implications for food preparation and nutritional, as soaking is a common practice in sorghum processing. The study highlights the underlying effects of soaking cereals % help minimize nutrient loss and preserve the nutritional value of sorghum.
