The Usage of Zein
Zein,CAS NO. 9010-66-6 is a class of prolamin proteins found in corn (maize). It has a variety of uses due to its unique properties, including its solubility in alcohol and its ability to form films. Here are the main uses of zein:
Food Industry
Coating for food products: Zein CAS NO. 9010-66-6 is used as a coating or glazing agent for various food products, including nuts, seeds, and candies. It provides a shiny, protective layer and helps extend shelf life by preventing moisture loss.
Edible films: Zein can be used to create edible films or coatings for fruits, vegetables, and other food products. These films help preserve freshness and prevent contamination without affecting the taste or texture of the food.
Encapsulation of flavors: Zein is often used for encapsulating flavors, vitamins, or other nutrients in food and dietary supplements. It can protect sensitive ingredients from degradation, improving stability and delivery.
Biodegradable Packaging
Zein is increasingly being explored for use in biodegradable packaging. Due to its natural origin and film-forming ability, it serves as an alternative to synthetic plastics, offering an environmentally friendly option for packaging materials.
Pharmaceutical Industry
Drug delivery systems: Zein is utilized in pharmaceutical applications for creating controlled-release drug delivery systems. It can encapsulate drugs and control their release over time, enhancing therapeutic efficacy.
Capsule coatings: Zein is sometimes used in the production of hard gelatin capsules or as a coating material to improve the appearance and functionality of capsules.
Cosmetics and Personal Care
In cosmetics, zein is used in formulations for its film-forming and moisture-retention properties. It can be found in hair care products (such as conditioners) and skin care products (such as moisturizers) for its ability to form a protective barrier on the skin or hair.
Animal Feed
Zein can be used in animal feed, providing a protein source, although its digestibility may be lower compared to other plant proteins like soy or corn gluten.
