  • Physico-chemical modification of kafirin microstructures for application as biomaterials 
    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 ...
  • Plasticization of kafirin films 
    Van Eck, Hilda-Mart (University of Pretoria, 2008-08-15)
    Despite the potential of kafirin (sorghum prolamin protein) films, up until now there has been no in-depth investigation on the plasticization of kafirin films, similar to that done on zein films. Since protein films tend ...
  • Understanding Kafrin microparticle formation and morphology 
    Da Silva, Marcio Faria (University of Pretoria, 2016)
    A laboratory process exists for the extraction of kafirin protein from sorghum grain in order to form kafirin encapsulating microparticles. This laboratory process extracts approximately 2 g of protein and takes in excess ...
