SHPLC-DAD-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS qualitative analysis data and HPLC-DAD quantification data of phenolic compounds of grains from five Australian sorghum genotypes

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) grain is a rich source of bioactive phenolic compounds and understanding the phenolic profile of different sorghum genotypes is an important step towards the selection of the most appropriate genotype for industrial applications. The free and bound phenolic compounds of sorghum bran and kernel fractions from five Australian-grown sorghum genotypes (1 white, 2 red, 1 brown and 1 black coloured grain) were identified/tentatively identified by HPLC-DAD-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS and quantified/semi-quantified by HPLC-DAD. Firstly, MS chromatograms of sorghum samples and standards and the MS/MS spectra of individual detected compounds and standards are presented. Then quantification data of these compounds is provided. This dataset is supplementary to the research paper "Comprehensive profiling of phenolic compounds by HPLC-DAD-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS to reveal their location and form of presence in different sorghum grain genotypes"[1] (C) 2020 The Author(s).
