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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
