Global food security and sustainability can be enhanced with increased production and use
of hemp seed (Cannabis sativa L.) that not only provides healthy sources of protein and oil …

Kafirin, the sorghum prolamin, is the most hydrophobic of the prolamins, and forms disulfide
cross‐links because of its high cysteine content. It is noted for its slow digestibility but does …

The anti-solvent co-precipitation method was used to fabricate the zein-propylene glycol
alginate (PGA) binary complex with different mass ratios of zein to PGA (20: 1, 10: 1, 5: 1, 2 …

The effects of propylene glycol alginate (PGA) at different concentrations on the physical,
conformational, thermal and morphological characteristics of zein particles were explored at …

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] plays a key role in food and nutritional security for
over half‐a‐billion people in Africa and Asia. In industrialized nations, sorghum is mainly …

This study investigated mechanical and bioactive properties of kafirin films consisting of
2.5% citral (CK), 2% quercetin (QK) or 1.25% citral+ 1% quercetin (CQK). Incorporation of …

Holy basil essential oil (HBEO) can be applied as a feed additive; however, its benefits
depend on the available amount in the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, the …

Kafirin in sorghum inhibits starch digestion and exhibits antioxidant properties, however its
potential in food industry remains unexplored. Therefore, the study was aimed to explore …

Kafirin, the major storage protein from grain sorghum, belongs to the prolamin protein family
with its characteristic properties of being soluble in aqueous alcohol solutions, high proline …

This study combined protein modeling methods to generate the prolamins' fractions as
precise as possible. Hence, gliadins, zeins, kafirins, hordeins, secalins, avenins and oryzins …
