  • Food science (35.52%)
  • Starch (26.78%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Sorghum, Food science, Starch, Agronomy and Animal feed. He applies his multidisciplinary studies on Sorghum and Pollinator in his research. His study in Food science is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Size-exclusion chromatography, Mutant and Average diameter.

In his study, Absorbance is strongly linked to Endosperm, which falls under the umbrella field of Starch. His Agronomy research includes themes of Food grade, Nutritional composition and White. His Animal feed study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Chemometrics, Coefficient of determination, Protein chemistry and Bioproducts.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Allelochemicals targeted to balance competing selections in African agroecosystems (12 citations)
  • Evaluation of ethanol-based extraction conditions of sorghum bran bioactive compounds with downstream anti-proliferative properties in human cancer cells. (11 citations)
  • Water deficit and heat stress induced alterations in grain physico-chemical characteristics and micronutrient composition in field grown grain sorghum (11 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Organic chemistry

His primary scientific interests are in Sorghum, Food science, Horticulture, Composition and Starch. Sorghum is a subfield of Agronomy that he investigates. His work on Allelopathy is typically connected to Quelea quelea as part of general Agronomy study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His Food science research includes elements of Size-exclusion chromatography, Average diameter and Antioxidant. His work on Seedling, Hybrid and Panicle as part of his general Horticulture study is frequently connected to Stage, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His research integrates issues of Micronutrient, Animal feed and Bioproducts in his study of Starch.
