What is Zein?
Corn alcohol is the primary protein in corn gluten powder. Due to the fact that it is insoluble in water, does not have important amino acids such as lysine as well as tryptophan, and has problems such as color as well as scent, it is rarely used as a food resources. Nonetheless, zein alcohol has excellent film-forming residential or commercial properties, gelling buildings as well as strong oxidation resistance. With the advancement of high decolorization and deodorization innovation, its application variety has actually been greatly widened, making it a commonly made use of commercial basic material.
Corn gluten dish, also called corn gluten, is a spin-off of the manufacturing of starch from corn. The healthy protein web content of this sort of corn gluten powder is about 60%, yet as a result of the absence of crucial amino acids such as lysine and tryptophan, its biological value is reduced. Currently, it is mostly sold as low-value feed healthy protein, and also many factories do not even make any kind of use it., Allow it be discharged with the waste liquid, which not only creates a waste of sources, however additionally seriously pollutes the setting.
Zein Uses
Corn healthy protein, commonly called millet gum tissue, is the healthy protein in corn, white or light yellow granules or resinous compounds. Reasonably steady to warmth in completely dry state. It can be extensively used in the manufacture of plastics, coverings, adhesives, inks and also emulsifiers.
The zein solution has film-forming properties. When the solvent evaporates, the protein aggregates to form a smooth, transparent zein film with the characteristics of moisture resistance, oxygen resistance, and enteric solubility. Because zein is insoluble in water, lacks lysine and tryptophan, and has color and odor problems, it is rarely used as a food raw material. However, its unique solubility and film-forming properties make it widely used in medicine, hygiene and Food chemical industry and other fields have broad market prospects. At present, zein is mainly used as a pharmaceutical excipient, used as a tablet coating and sustained-release wall material, and can also be applied to candy coating, fruit and meat product fresh-keeping coating, oil embedding wall material, bioavailable Degradation of plastics, adhesives, etc.

Application of Zein
As the bioethanol industry continues to grow and the production of zein alcohol continues to increase, it is necessary to continuously develop new uses of this material based on different technologies. Because zeatol can form a tough, smooth, and hydrophobic film, it is widely used in the fields of industry, food, and medicine.
As an industrial polymer, zein alcohol has received extensive attention and has been used in drug delivery systems, such as microsphere structures and membrane structures, for the delivery of anticancer drugs, anticoagulants, and parasites. showed better compatibility. During the dissolution process of the tablet, zein forms a gel-like coating and a network structure to prevent the tablet from breaking. As the coating of the tablet, zein is compact and brittle, and the solvent penetrates into the drug to dissolve the drug. Through the formation of zein The porous structure of the osmotic system slowly releases the drug.
Zein alcohol nanoparticles can protect therapeutic proteins and enable catalase and superoxide dismutase to fully exert their drug effects. Folate-catalase or superoxide dismutase can scavenge reactive oxygen species produced by macrophages in vitro under the protection of zein alcohol nanoparticles. As a substitute for pharmaceutical film-forming agents such as cellulose or polyacrylate derivatives, zein films have been made into microspheres for transporting insulin, heparin, ivermectin, and lactobacillus. The zein granules protect most of the lycopene from being released in the stomach.
Due to the existence of environmental problems, the development of edible and degradable packaging materials from natural polymers is an important research object at present. Using phenolic compounds such as catechin, gallic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, and ferulic acid to change the fragility of zein film, a zein film with antibacterial and antioxidant properties can be used as a bioactive packaging material. Differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the electrospinning of zeanol containing phase change materials could be used as an effective packaging material.
The surface area of zein electrospun fibers is huge, and the positioning of gallic acid on the surface allows zein to be used as an edible coating for dry food, or as a part of a multilayer structure, and has certain antibacterial properties. Biomaterials hold great promise in the food industry. An ultrafine zein polymer fiber was developed by electrospinning technology, which can be used as edible antibacterial food packaging. Confocal Raman imaging spectroscopy was used to find that β-carotene was distributed in a uniform state in the fiber , so that beta-carotene can be extracted from this fiber, and at the same time the packaging has strong antioxidant properties even under UV rays. Adding antibacterial substances to packaging materials can prolong the shelf life of food, and the combination of zein alcohol and active compounds, thymol, and natural fibers is of great significance for the development of new packaging materials.
In recent years, the demand for plastic packaging has been increasing. Based on environmental considerations, the development of degradable film packaging is of great significance to the ecological environment. Edible and biodegradable films and coatings can not only control the transmission of moisture, oxygen, and carbon dioxide , retain flavor components, prevent quality deterioration and increase shelf life of food. The interaction between zein alcohol and polysaccharides, lipids and other proteins can change its functionality. Both whey protein and zein alcohol, which are industrial by-products, have good film-forming properties. Using whey protein and zein alcohol to make a single-layer film and Laminated film, compared with pure whey protein film, the ultimate tensile strength of the film is increased, and the hydrophobicity is enhanced.
The zein film containing lysozyme can inhibit the production of Listeria monocytogenes in cheese at 4 ℃, the zein film containing gallic acid and catechin can make the cheese have a certain antioxidant activity, and the corn with natural antibacterial compounds Protein film active packaging can not only increase the safety of fresh cheese, but also improve the quality of cheese.
Lysozyme is one of the most commonly used antibacterial substances, and it often appears in paper packaging materials. The distribution and release of lysozyme can be controlled by using corn alcohol. Lysozyme, albumin, and disodium EDTA are added to corn alcohol to develop a A functional food with antibacterial, antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties, in which albumin can change the distribution of purified lysozyme in the protein film, and at the same time reduce the solubility of lysozyme in the film in distilled water. The surface of zein alcohol is hydrophobic, and it can be used as an oil analogue to replace part of the cream in ice cream and salad oil to make mayonnaise. Compared with ordinary oil, it contains less calories and can effectively prevent obesity caused by high-calorie diets. High blood pressure and diabetes, in line with the requirements of a healthy diet.
Application of Zein in Pharmaceutical Preparations
Existing water-soluble polymer materials mainly include natural water-soluble polymers extracted from natural animals and plants as raw materials, such as vegetable glue, animal glue, etc.; there are also chemically modified natural polymers, mainly modified starch and modified starch. Sexual cellulose, such as carboxymethyl starch, starch acetate, hydroxymethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, etc.; and synthetic water-soluble polymer materials, such as polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, etc.
In the present invention, after corn gluten is grafted with highly hydrophilic polyethylene glycol, the modified material can be completely dissolved in water. The expansion of fields has opened up new ways for the effective use of natural resources. At the same time, water-soluble zein can be widely used in the field of pharmaceutical preparations, especially as a new drug-loading material for insoluble drugs, which can effectively improve the bioavailability of insoluble drugs; it can be used as a long-circulation nanomicelle drug delivery system. Will produce greater social value and economic value.
