A review of food preservation based on zein: The perspective from application types of coating and film.

Food Chemistry, 2023
The application of zein in food preservation was discussed from a unique perspective of application types, including coating and film. For the study of coating, edibility is considered because the coating adheres to the surface of food directly.
