A comparison of the bioaccessible calcium supplies of various plant-based products relative to bovine milk (2023)
Journal Article
Muleya, M., Bailey, E. F., & Bailey, E. H. (2024). A comparison of the bioaccessible calcium supplies of various plant-based products relative to bovine milk. Food Research International, 175, Article 113795. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113795

Calcium deficiency is widespread globally, especially in diets with minimal consumption of dairy. It is therefore important to identify plant-based sources of calcium that can make a meaningful contribution to calcium intakes for populations followin...

In vitro determination of the protein quality of maize varieties cultivated in Malawi using the INFOGEST digestion method. (2023)
Journal Article
Muleya, M., Li, D., Chiutsi-Phiri, G., Botoman, L., Brameld, J. M., & Salter, A. M. (2023). In vitro determination of the protein quality of maize varieties cultivated in Malawi using the INFOGEST digestion method. Heliyon, 9(9), Article e19797. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e19797

There is an urgent need to alleviate protein deficiencies in low-income countries where cereal-based diets dominate. The objective of this study was to use the INFOGEST static digestion method and a recently established analytical workflow to determi...

The effect of popping, soaking, boiling and roasting processes on antinutritional factors in chickpeas and red kidney beans (2022)
Journal Article
Godrich, J., Rose, P., Muleya, M., & Gould, J. (2023). The effect of popping, soaking, boiling and roasting processes on antinutritional factors in chickpeas and red kidney beans. International Journal of Food Science and Technology, 58(1), 279-289. https://doi.org/10.1111/ijfs.16190

This study was conducted to determine the effect that a popping head (like a rice cake machine), a low-shear and low-water processing technology, has on the concentration of antinutritional factors in chickpea and red kidney beans. Seeds were popped... Read More about The effect of popping, soaking, boiling and roasting processes on antinutritional factors in chickpeas and red kidney beans.

Limited Supply of Protein and Lysine Is Prevalent among the Poorest Households in Malawi and Exacerbated by Low Protein Quality (2022)
Journal Article
Muleya, M., Tang, K., Broadley, M. R., Salter, A. M., & Joy, E. J. M. (2022). Limited Supply of Protein and Lysine Is Prevalent among the Poorest Households in Malawi and Exacerbated by Low Protein Quality. Nutrients, 14(12), Article 2430. https://doi.org/10.3390/nu14122430

We estimated dietary supplies of total and available protein and indispensable amino acids (IAAs) and predicted the risk of deficiency in Malawi using Household Consumption and Expenditure Survey data. More than half of dietary protein was derived fr... Read More about Limited Supply of Protein and Lysine Is Prevalent among the Poorest Households in Malawi and Exacerbated by Low Protein Quality.

Flavour compounds affect protein structure: The effect of methyl anthranilate on bovine serum albumin conformation (2022)
Journal Article
Dinu, V., Borah, P. K., Muleya, M., Scott, D. J., Lithgo, R., Pattem, J., …Fisk, I. D. (2022). Flavour compounds affect protein structure: The effect of methyl anthranilate on bovine serum albumin conformation. Food Chemistry, 388, Article 133013. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2022.133013

This study aims to understand possible effects of flavour compounds on the structure and conformation of endogenous proteins. Using methyl anthranilate (a grape flavour compound added to drinks, confectionery, and vape-liquids) and bovine serum album...
