The aim was to study the effect of steam-flaking of sorghum and maize on bioethanol production and the performance of their ground meals during liquefaction, saccharification and yeast fermentation. A bifactorial experiment with a level of confidence of P< 0.05 was designed to study differences between sorghum and maize and the effectiveness of steam-flaking. Grains were steam-flaked to increase starch bioavailability and disrupt the protein matrix that envelopes starch granules. The steam-flaked sorghum had significantly higher and faster starch hydrolysis compared to the regular kernel during liquefaction. This hydrolysate contained about 33
