Zein films as substrates for cell attachment
… high glutamine content. A main example is corn zein. Zein has been reported to support cell attachment. The main hypothesis in this work was that zein is able to support attachment of cancer (HeLa) cells. In this work, HeLa cells were grown on glass slides coated with zein films. It was reported …

Investigation of Protein-Fatty Acid Interactions in Zein Films
Results suggested that formation of zein-oleate films may involve an initial hydrophilic adsorption of oleic acid onto zein followed by development of hydrophobic associations leading to film structural organization. Results from this study provide new insight on the mechanism for zein-oleic acid …

Processing and Characterization of Extruded Zein-Based Biodegradable Films
… of this study were to prepare biodegradable zein films by extrusion processing and to evaluate relevant physical properties of resulting films with respect to their potential as packaging materials. The manufacture of protein-based packaging films by extrusion has remained a challenge. In …

Manufacture and utilization of a biodegradable sensor platform from gold coated zein nanophotonic films to detect acrylamide and Ara-h1 using SERS
… a biodegradable 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 …

Cell attachment to Zein surfaces
… (tTG) 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 …

Fabrication of zein nanostructure
… biodegradable 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 …

Effect of concentration of glutaraldehyde and glyoxal on binding lysozyme to zein based films to control foodborne pathogens in tomatoes
… on a biopolymer based packaging film (corn-zein). The developed packaging material is aimed as an active biodegradable packaging to reduce bacterial contamination on the surface of fresh organic produce, specifically tomatoes. The study uses glutaraldehyde and glyoxal as binding agents to …
