Modification of Zein and its Antioxidant Property In Vitro

Article Preview

Abstract:

Modified zein could improve functional properties of zein broadening its application. The L9(34) orthogonal experimental design was applied to optimize modification technology of zein. The results showed that the optimum parameters of zein modification were using gallic acid as modifier, ethanol 80% and modification time 2.0h. Under these conditions, the fracture elongation of modified zein was reached to 79.5%. The results showed obvious effects. The antioxidant activities of zein were determined by •OH and DPPH radicals scavenging assays. When modified zein concentration was 2.0 g/mL the scavenging capacity of DPPH and •OH reached to 34.7% and 45.2%. The antioxidant activity of zein was less than vitamin C. This study has important practical significance for deep processing of zein resources.
