Background Zein is the major protein in corn and the main byproduct of the starch industry
and, therefore, crucial for global agricultural commodities. Its unique fibre-forming properties …

Infectious diseases hold third place in the top 10 causes of death worldwide and were
responsible for more than 6.7 million deaths in 2016. Nanomedicine is a multidisciplinary …

Stable zein-based nanocomplexes with sodium caseinate (NaCas) could be formed using a
pH-cycle treatment without organic solvents, but structural changes of water-insoluble zein …

This research was carried out to make zein microcapsules containing Zataria multiflora
essential oil (Z. multiflora EO) by the electrospraying method to evaluate the antimicrobial …

Nanoparticles were fabricated by adsorbing gum arabic (GA) on zein nanoparticles by
antisolvent precipitation. The most stable mass ratio of zein: GA was 1: 1.5 with a stable zeta …
