Taylor, Janet; Anyango, Joseph Ochieng; Potgieter, Marnie; Kallmeyer, Karlien; Naidoo, Vinny; Pepper, Michael Sean; Taylor, J.R.N. (John Reginald Nuttall) (Wiley, 2015-08)Kafirin, the sorghum prolamin protein, like its maize homologue zein, can be made into micropatticles and films and potentially used as a biomaterial. Zein has good bio- and cytocompatibility. Kafirin could be advantageous ...

Taylor, Janet; Anyango, Joseph Ochieng; Muhiwa, Peter J.; Oguntoyinbo, Segun I.; Taylor, J.R.N. (John Reginald Nuttall) (Elsevier, 2018-04-15)Zeins of differing sub-class composition much more readily formed visco-elastic masses in water or acetic acid solutions than equivalent kafirin preparations. Visco-elastic masses could be formed from both zein and kafirin ...

Taylor, Janet; Anyango, Joseph Ochieng; Taylor, J.R.N. (John Reginald Nuttall) (American Association of Cereal Chemists, 2013-07)Despite much research, there are very few commercial prolamin bio-plastics. The major reason, apart from their high cost, is that they have inferior functional properties compared to synthetic polymer plastics. This is ...

Anyango, Joseph Ochieng; De Kock, Henrietta Letitia; Taylor, J.R.N. (John Reginald Nuttall) (Elsevier, 2011-12)Despite nutritional advantages, the functional quality of cereal foods tends to decline when fortified with legumes. Traditional African cowpea-fortified sorghum foods were evaluated using instrumental and descriptive ...

Anyango, Joseph Ochieng; De Kock, Henrietta Letitia; Taylor, J.R.N. (John Reginald Nuttall) (Elsevier, 2011-02)Protein malnutrition is a problem in Africa where sorghum is a staple foodstuff. Improvement in the protein quality of traditional African sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) foods through the addition of cowpea (Vigna ...
-
Anyango, Joseph Ochieng (University of Pretoria, 2009)Lysine deficiency is a major nutritional problem faced by poor people living in the arid and semi-arid tropics who depend on sorghum as their staple food. This is because of poor lysine content and digestibility of sorghum ...

Anyango, Joseph Ochieng; Taylor, Janet; Taylor, J.R.N. (John Reginald Nuttall) (American Chemical Society, 2011)Improvement in the water stability and other related functional properties of thin (<50 µm) karirin protein films was investigated. Thin conventional kafirin films and kafirin microparticle films were prepared by casting ...
-
Anyango, Joseph Ochieng (University of Pretoria, 2012)Microparticles produced from kafirin, the sorghum grain prolamin protein, by molecular selfassembly using coacervation with acetic acid solvent are vacuolated. They have shown considerable potential for encapsulation of ...

Anyango, Joseph Ochieng; Duneas, Nicolaas; Taylor, J.R.N. (John Reginald Nuttall); Taylor, Janet (American Chemical Society, 2012-08)Vacuolated spherical kafirin microparticles with a mean diameter of 5 μm can be formed from an acidic solution with water addition. Three-dimensional scaffolds for hard tissue repair require large structures with a high ...

Anyango, Joseph Ochieng; Taylor, J.R.N. (John Reginald Nuttall); Taylor, Janet (American Chemical Society, 2013-11)The possible importance of the cysteine-rich γ-prolamin in kafirin and zein functionality has been neglected. The role of γ-kafirin in organized microstructures was investigated in microparticles. Residual kafirin (total ...
