Zein Powder

What Is Zein?

Zein Powder is a protein extracted from corn kernels, mainly composed of corn protein, including alcohol-soluble protein, gluten, etc. It is a protein-rich product obtained by degerming, crushing, removing residues, extracting starch from yellow pulp water, and then concentrating and drying. It is also called corn gluten powder. Corn protein powder has the appearance of white or slightly light yellow powder, with a high protein content (20% to 70%) and rich amino acids. It can be used directly as a protein raw material and has a high feeding value. In addition, it can also be modified through biotechnology engineering and converted into protein hydrolyzates with functional ingredients for the preparation of functional foods and medicines.

Nutritional Value

High protein content

The protein content is high, reaching 61% to 71%, and it is an important source of protein in animal feed.

Bioavailability

The water solubility is low, which makes its protein and amino acid bioavailability low. However, through enzymatic treatment, corn protein can be converted into small peptides that are more easily absorbed by animals, thereby significantly improving its bioavailability.

Generation of bioactive peptides

Rich in bioactive peptides, such as antioxidant peptides, liver protective peptides and antihypertensive peptides, these peptides have potential health benefits and can enhance the health of animals.

Improvement of fermentation process

Through microbial fermentation, its structure can be changed, its water solubility and nutritional value can be improved. At the same time, the content of probiotics is increased, which helps to adjust the microbial balance in the animal intestine.

Physiological Functions

Nutritious: Contains high-quality protein, fiber, B vitamins, vitamin E, and minerals such as zinc and potassium, which are essential for maintaining human health. These nutrients help maintain the normal physiological functions of the human body, including cell repair, metabolism, etc.

Enhance immunity: Contains vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin E and zinc, which have a positive effect on strengthening the immune system. They help improve the body's disease resistance and reduce the risk of infection and disease.

Antioxidant: Contains rich vitamin E and other antioxidants, which help resist oxidative stress and protect cells from free radical damage, thereby delaying the aging process.

Improve digestion: High fiber content, high fiber content helps improve digestive function, relieve constipation and other problems, and maintain intestinal health.

Replenish energy: Contains rich carbohydrates, which can provide the body with a fast and lasting source of energy, helping to maintain normal body activities.

Promote brain development: The phospholipids contained have the effect of promoting the growth and differentiation of nerve cells. Intake during the fetal period and childhood is beneficial to the healthy development of the brain.

Improve cholesterol levels: Rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid, it can lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, thereby protecting the cardiovascular system.

Applications

Food

It can be used as a thickener, emulsifier, stabilizer and other food additives, and is widely used in beverages, bread, pastries, cold drinks and other food industries.

Feed

It is a high-quality feed raw material, commonly used in feed for livestock and poultry such as cattle, pigs, and chickens, and can replace protein feed such as soybean cake and fish meal to improve the production performance of livestock and poultry.

Medical and health care

It can be used to prepare bioactive peptides, enzyme inhibitors, etc., and has physiological functions such as lowering cholesterol, anti-oxidation, anti-fatigue, and enhancing immunity.

Cosmetics

It can be used to prepare skin care and hair care products such as facial masks and shampoos due to its good emulsification and film-forming properties.
