Zein as a structural protein in gluten-free systems: an overview

open access: yesFood Science and Human Wellness, 2021
Zein, a class of alcohol-soluble prolamines in maize endosperm, is mainly composed of α-zein, β-zein, and γ-zein. It has been recognized as a structural protein for various gluten-free systems since it can form gluten-like viscoelastic network.

Structural transitions and molecular interactions of zein induced by ethanol and extrusion [PDF]

open access: yesFood Chemistry: X
Ethanol improves the zein network in gluten-free dough, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this improvement remain incompletely elucidated. This study investigated ethanol plasticization (0–50 %, v/v) on commercial zein (C-zein) and extrusion ...

Electrospun zein nanofibers incorporating cyclodextrins [PDF]

open access: yesCarbohydrate Polymers, 2012
Zein nanofibers containing cyclodextrins (zein/CD) were produced via electrospinning. Three types of CDs (α-CD, β-CD and γ-CD) having 10%, 25% and 50% (w/w) were individually incorporated into zein nanofibers. SEM imaging elucidated that the morphologies of the electrospun zein/CD nanofibers depended on the CD type and weight percentage.
