The Nutritive Value and Supplementation of ogi (pap), the Major Nigerian Weaning Food
… within the economic capacity of the people. The protein content of corn and ogi was determined by the Kjeldahl method and the amino acid content was determined by ionexchange chromatography. The quality of the foods was evaluated by the rat growth method and the protein efficiency ratio …

Effects of corn quality and storage on dry grind ethanol production
Corn dry grind industry is the major contributor of ethanol production in the US. Ethanol plants incur economic losses due to seasonal variations in ethanol yields. Ethanol yields typically are low during the first month after harvest, increase for the next six to seven months and decrease again …

Cell attachment to Zein surfaces
… in its role as a crosslinking enzyme. Zein, a corn protein, has been recently studied as a biocompatible material in tissue engineering. It is a prolamin containing multiple poly-glutamine strands. Previous studies suggested that glutamine residues on zein structure are involved in NIH 3T3 cell …

FATE, TRANSPORT, AND MIXTURE TOXICITY OF TRANSGENIC BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS CORN (ZEA MAYS) AND ASSOCIATED INSECTICIDES
Corn is a dominating feature in the landscape of the Midwestern United States. Associated with this crop are a plethora of products from fertilizers to pesticides that help farmers maximize grain yield while minimizing costs. A widely accepted form of protection from major pests in the United …

Interfacial Interactions in Polyaniline Containing Hybrids
… group of substrates were biopolymers. Zein (corn protein) has been shown to interact with PANI in both heterogeneous (suspension) and homogeneous (solution) conditions. Strong interactions, mostly by means of nitrogen containing and carbonyl groups, were detected in FTIR studies. …

Degradable intake protein supplementation through the inclusion of urea in finishing diets containing distillers grains: effects on feedlot cattle performance, ruminal fermentation, and feed digestibility
Degradable intake protein (DIP) represents the proportion of protein that is potentially fermented in the rumen. Ruminal DIP balance is calculated by the difference between DIP supply and requirements. The former is a function of dry matter intake and dietary DIP, and represents nitrogen (N) …

The regulation of brain serotonin concentrations by dietary factors affecting brain tryptophan
… the consumption of another constituent of food, protein. Following the ingestion of the same carbohydrate diet supplemented with casein, 18% dry weight, plasma tryptophan levels became elevated, but brain tryptophan and serotonin concentrations did not change. Inasmuch as protein contains amino …

Fabrication of zein nanostructure
… polymers from renewable resources. Zein protein, a co-product from ethanol production from corn, is a good candidate. This research project aims to increase zein value by adopting nanotechnology for fabricating advanced zein packaging films and zein microfluidic devices. Two …

Excess leucine in diets for growing pigs negatively affects growth performance, nitrogen balance, and metabolism of branched-chain amino acids and tryptophan
… dietary Leu on growth performance, N balance, protein retention, and serotonin synthesis of growing pigs. Results indicated that average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI), and gain to feed ratio decreased (linear, P < 0.05) as dietary Leu increased. Decreased (linear, P < 0.05) …

Manufacture and utilization of a biodegradable sensor platform from gold coated zein nanophotonic films to detect acrylamide and Ara-h1 using SERS
… sensor platform that is made of zein, a corn protein, utilized in SERS measurements of food analytes. First, the effect of parent substrate (the surface, which zein was cast on) and plasticizer, oleic acid content, on the surface hydrophilicity of resulting zein films was analyzed. It was …
