Description de produit
Natural Protein Zein CAS 9010-66-6 Film-Forming Agent
Zein (CAS 9010-66-6) is a natural, plant-based protein derived from corn (maize). As the major storage protein found in corn, it is recognized for its unique film-forming, adhesive, and coating properties. This biodegradable and renewable resource is increasingly valued across food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries for its versatility and eco-friendly profile.
Key Characteristics
- Biodegradable and Renewable: Sourced from sustainable corn crops
- Excellent Film-Former: Creates tough, glossy, and grease-resistant films
- Unique Solubility: Water-insoluble but soluble in alcohols
- Edible and Non-Toxic: Safe for food and pharmaceutical applications
