Zein Powder

About The Detailed Introduction Of Zein?

Zein Powder is a by-product of corn grains that has been purified through starch production in the food industry or purification in the brewing industry. It is rich in protein nutrients and has a special taste and color. It can be used as feed. Compared with fish meal and soybean cake commonly used in the feed industry, Zein Powder has resource advantages. Obviously, it has high feeding value, does not contain toxic and harmful substances, does not need to be reprocessed, and can be directly used as protein raw material. Due to the low price when sold as feed, in recent years, some companies have used corn gluten meal as raw material, extracted zeaxanthin and zeatin from it, and developed functional foods, which greatly increased the added value.
Zein is the main protein in corn gluten meal. Because it is insoluble in water and lacks essential amino acids such as lysine and tryptophan. It also has problems such as color and odor, so it is rarely used as a food raw material. However, zein alcohol has good film-forming properties, gelling properties and strong antioxidant properties. With the development of high-level decolorization and deodorization technology, its application scope has been greatly broadened, making it a widely used industrial product. raw material.

Resolve Resolution

The chemical synthesis method of water-soluble zein is characterized by: dissolving PEG carboxylic acid derivatives in excess sulfoxide chloride, heating and refluxing under magnetic stirring conditions to obtain PEG acid chloride derivatives. Separately take the corn denin dimethylformamide solution, slowly drop the PEG acid chloride solution into the corn denin solution, heat at 60°C with stirring for more than 10 hours, and then separate, purify and dry to obtain the final product.

What Are The Benefits?

Provide Nutrition
It is rich in essential amino acids such as lysine, isoleucine, and phenylalanine, and can provide high-quality protein and nutrients needed by the human body. In addition, corn gluten also contains a large amount of crude fiber, vitamins and minerals, which help maintain physical health and nutritional balance.

Promote Health
It can improve the body's immunity and enhance the body's ability to fight against diseases. At the same time, it can also promote intestinal health, increase the number of probiotics, and help prevent and treat intestinal diseases. In addition, zein also has certain anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, helping to prevent and alleviate inflammatory reactions and oxidative damage.

Enhance Antioxidant Capacity
Contains a variety of antioxidant substances, such as flavonoids, vitamins C, E, etc., which can help remove free radicals and reduce the impact of oxidative damage on the body. In addition, zein can also increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase, further improving the body's antioxidant capacity.

Promote Muscle Growth And Repair
Zein powder contains high amounts of branched-chain amino acids, especially leucine and isoleucine, which are important for muscle growth and repair. They stimulate muscle protein synthesis, improve muscle mass and strength, and help promote muscle growth and repair.

Lower Blood Sugar And Cholesterol
Zein contains some functional ingredients that regulate blood sugar and cholesterol, such as camellia polyphenols. These ingredients can lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels and prevent and treat related diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

What Are The Application Directions?

Zein is a natural plant protein widely used in many fields. The following will introduce in detail the applications of corn protein in food, feed, cosmetics and other fields.

Food Field:
Zein powder is widely used in the food industry. It can be used to make various meat products, such as sausages, ham and meatballs, to increase the protein content and taste of the products. In addition, corn protein can also be used in the production of bread, pastries, biscuits, cakes and other pastry products to increase their nutritional value and taste.

Feed Field:
It is also one of the commonly used ingredients in animal feed. It is rich in high-quality protein and essential amino acids, which can meet the nutritional needs of animals for growth and development. In poultry feed, corn gluten can replace part of soybean meal and increase the protein content of the feed. At the same time, adding an appropriate amount of corn protein to the feed of livestock and poultry such as pigs and cattle can help improve the digestibility of the feed and the production performance of the animals.

Cosmetics Field:
It is also widely used in cosmetics and skin care products. Due to its moisturizing, moisturizing and skin-softening properties, zein is often used as a humectant and emollient in skin care products such as creams, lotions, serums and more. In addition, zein can also be used to make hair care products such as shampoo and conditioner to help improve the elasticity and luster of hair.

Other Areas:
In addition to food, feed and cosmetics, zein is also used in other fields. For example, in the pharmaceutical field, zein can be used as a drug carrier or sustained-release agent for the preparation of oral drugs, injections, and topical drugs. In addition, zein can also be used in the pulp and paper industry to increase the strength and gloss of paper.
