**4.3 Flavonoids in decorticated sorghum grains exert antioxidant and antidiabetic activities**

Flavonoids are said to be helpful in preventing metabolic disorders including type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and several malignancies. They are primarily abundant in the bran portion (pericarp, testa, and aleurone tissues) of the plants. According to the findings, decorticated sorghum grains contain significant amounts of flavonoids, which may inhibit glucose hydrolyzing enzymes and lessen the symptoms of diabetes and its companion disorders [125].
