Factors affecting yield and composition of zein extracted from commercial corn gluten meal
1997
Wu, S. | Myers, D.J. | Johnson, L.A.
Twelve corn gluten meal samples obtained from six wet-milling plants were processed into zein. Zein was extracted using 88% aqueous isopropyl alcohol at pH 12.5, followed by chilling. Protein recovery ranged from 21.3 to 32.0%, and protein purity ranged from 82.1 to 87.6%. Protein recovery increased as the protein purity increased (r = 0.76) (P < 0.01). One of the major factors influencing extraction yield was protein composition; especially alpha-zein content, which ranged from 53.4 to 64% of the total protein in the corn gluten meal samples. The intensity of red color of the corn gluten meal was negatively correlated with protein recovery and zein purity (r = -0.66 and -0.72, respectively) (P <0.02).
