This review measures the effect of kafirins in the development of functional foods and its valuable function against different diseases. Kafirins are proteins present in sorghum and have pharmacological properties that aid in reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, hyperglycemia, and inflammation.
The current review has measured the effect of kafirins in the development of functional foods and its valuable function against different diseases. Kafirins are usually a protein that is mostly present in sorghum. Chemically, kafirin is divided into different categories including alpha-kafirin, beta-kafirin, and gamma-kafirin. Kafirins that are formed in sorghum endosperm and then transferred into the lumen of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The different functional food products are being developed by using kafirins in the form of sorghum flour. These products play a valuable role in human beings. Previous studies suggested that kafirins have pharmacological properties that are an aid in reducing CVD, hyperglycemia and inflammation. The kafirins are present in sorghum flour that protects humans from Celiac Syndrome. The aim of study was to extract kafirin from sorghum and add into different products for the purpose of reduce the risk of diseases especially celiac disease. Conclusively, food products prepared by using sorghum-kafirin is played a valuable role in human health.
