Mr. Kabore Kayaba | Biochemistry | Young Researcher Award

Joseph KI Zerbo University of Ouagadougou | Burkina Faso

Mr. Kabore Kayaba is a food biochemist and agrotechnology researcher specializing in phytochemistry, functional foods, and bioactive compounds from indigenous African plants. His research integrates biochemical engineering, antioxidant science, and antimicrobial screening to develop nutritionally optimized and health-promoting food products from local resources. He has contributed to peer-reviewed journals on phenolic profiling, antioxidant capacity, and antimicrobial activity of plant extracts, notably Uvaria chamae, a traditional food plant from Burkina Faso. His work also extends to formulation and quality characterization of energy-dense foods for high-performance nutrition. Mr. Kabore Kayaba’s research emphasizes food security, value addition, and evidence-based utilization of underexploited botanical resources in Africa.
