The objective of this work was to evaluate the yield of Sorghum bicolor var. IPA-467, under irrigation and fertilizer conditions and the physical-chemical characterization of grain flours and 'rapadura' obtained from combinations of sorghum stem juice (SJ) x sugar cane juice (CJ). The experiment resulted im biomass production, seeds, stem, juice, thick sugarcane syrup, respectively of 64t/ha; 3,5t/ha, 46t/ha, 700L/t of stem, 140L/t of stem and 90L/t of stem. The total sugars of sorghum grain flour were lower than results reported for wheat flour. 'Rapaduras' in which sorghum juice was used at 10 and 20, in combination of sugar cane juice, had higher acceptance scores, as compared with 'rapadura' obtaned from 100% sugar cane juice. The acceptance of 'rapaduras' formulated from 30% SJ x 70% CJ did not differ from those obtained from 100% CJ.
