CAS 9010-66-6
:Zeins
Description:
Zeins are a class of alcohol-soluble proteins derived from corn (maize) and are primarily composed of prolamins, which are a type of storage protein. They are characterized by their high content of hydrophobic amino acids, particularly proline and leucine, which contribute to their unique solubility properties. Zeins are typically insoluble in water but soluble in alcohols, such as ethanol, making them useful in various applications, including food, pharmaceuticals, and biodegradable plastics. They exhibit film-forming capabilities, which allow them to be used as coatings for food products to enhance shelf life and maintain moisture. Additionally, zeins are recognized for their biocompatibility and biodegradability, making them an attractive option for sustainable materials. Their structure can vary, leading to different zein fractions, each with distinct functional properties. Overall, zeins are valued for their versatility and functionality in both industrial and consumer products.
