Protein content was determined based on total nitrogen content (N x 6.25) analyzed by Kjeldahl method according to the AOAC method 2001.11 using an autoanalyser (Foss Tecator Ab, Höganäs, Sweden) [35 (link)]. Starch content was analysed according to the AACC method 76–13.01 using a total starch assay kit (Megazyme, Bray, Ireland). All biochemical analysis were performed as duplicates.

Sorghum flour (King Korn, Fine Mabele Flour, South Africa) and cowpea flour (variety: Bechuana white, South Africa) were used as raw materials for the bioprocessing treatments. Protein content was analysed with the Kjeldahl method (AOAC method 2001.11) using a Kjeldahl autoanalyser (Foss Tecator Ab, Höganäs, Sweden) nitrogen conversion factor of 6.25. Total, insoluble and soluble fibre was analysed with the AACC method 2011.25 using a semi-automated dietary fibre analyser (ANKOM TDF Fiber Analyzer, ANKOM, Macedon, NY, USA). Starch content was analysed according to AOAC Method 996.11 using a Megazyme Total Starch Assay kit (K-TSTA-100A, Megazyme, Wicklow, Bray, Ireland).
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
