Improvement in the size and antioxidant activity of kafirin microparticles by treatment with sorghum polyphenols

Microparticles (KEMs) made from the sorghum prolamin protein, kafirin, have internal vacuoles. Hence, they have potential as delivery vehicles for nutraceuticals. However, their physico-chemical properties need to be improved for this application. The influence of kafirin extracted from white tan-pl...
