Zein. Zein / ˈziːɪn / is a class of prolamine protein found in maize. It is usually manufactured as a powder from corn gluten meal. Zein is one of the best understood plant proteins. [1] Pure zein is clear, odorless, tasteless, hard, water-insoluble, and edible, and it has a variety of industrial and food uses. [2] [3]
Corn gluten meal (CGM) is the principal protein of corn ( maize) endosperm consisting mainly of zein and glutelin. [1] It is a byproduct of corn processing that has historically been used as an animal feed. Despite the name, corn gluten does not contain true gluten, which is formed by the interaction of gliadin and glutenin proteins.
Gliadin. Gliadin (a type of prolamin) is a class of proteins present in wheat and several other cereals within the grass genus Triticum. Gliadins, which are a component of gluten, are essential for giving bread the ability to rise properly during baking. Gliadins and glutenins are the two main components of the gluten fraction of the wheat seed.
Prolamin. Prolamins are a group of plant storage proteins having a high proline amino acid content. They are found in plants, mainly in the seeds of cereal grains such as wheat ( gliadin ), barley ( hordein ), rye ( secalin ), corn ( zein ), sorghum ( kafirin ), and oats ( avenin ). They are characterised by a high glutamine and proline content ...
Table sugar, honey, maple syrup and molasses are known as nutritive sweeteners, meaning they provide energy in the form of carbohydrates, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture ...
Natural protein concentrates (often used in bodybuilding or as sports dietary supplements ): Soy protein isolate (prepared with sodium or potassium): 80.66. Whey protein isolate: 79. Egg white, dried: 81.1. Spirulina alga, dried: 57.45 (more often quoted as 55 to 77) Baker's yeast: 38.33. Hemp husks 30.
Beta-glucan, a fiber found in cereals and oats, came out on top. A new study using a mouse model of obesity concludes that a type of fiber called beta-glucan induced more weight loss than other ...
Casein ( / ˈkeɪsiːn / KAY-seen, from Latin caseus "cheese") is a family of related phosphoproteins ( αS1, aS2, β, κ) that are commonly found in mammalian milk, comprising about 80% of the proteins in cow's milk and between 20% and 60% of the proteins in human milk. [1] Sheep and cow milk have a higher casein content than other types of ...
