Interactions of zein and zein/rosin nanoparticles with natural polyanion gum arabic

Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2020
The objective of this study was to investigate interactions of zein (Z) and zein/rosin (Z/R) nanoparticles with gum arabic (GA), at different pH. Nanoparticles were firstly prepared by antisolvent precipitation of biopolymers from aqueous ethanol solutions.

High internal phase pickering emulsions stabilized by zein/whey protein nanofibril complexes: Preparation and lycopene loading.

Food Chemistry
High internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs) prepared from natural polymers have attracted much attention in the food manufactures. However, single zein-stabilized HIPPEs are poorly stable and prone to flocculation near the isoelectric point.

Breaking the temperature limitation of zein-rice starch dough by microwave pre-gelatinization: Morphological, structural and rheological properties of the dough.

Food Research International, 2023
Zein has gluten-like viscoelasticity, but its use is limited due to high glass transition temperature (Tg). To break the temperature limitation of zein-starch dough, microwave heating was used to pre-gelatinize a partial of the starch with zein, and then
