Can you swap one for the other?

No. Sorghum and milk are different kinds of food, so neither stands in for the other, whatever molecules they share. Treat them as partners, not stand-ins. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.

What they have in common

More than half of sorghum's flavor molecules (128 of 251) also occur in milk. Among the shared key aromas are 2-nonenal (fatty, green) and ethyl butyrate (apple, fruity). Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
