Biocompatibility and biodegradation of protein microparticle and film scaffolds made from kafirin (sorghum prolamin protein) subcutaneously implanted in rodent models

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 ...
Developments in the science of zein, kafirin, and gluten protein bioplastic materials

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 ...
