Zein-enriched and depleted protein
Described herein is a corn protein product, comprising a first fraction comprising 75 wt % to 95 wt % (dry solids) protein and a second fraction comprising 60 wt % to 80 wt % (dry solids) protein, wherein the first fraction is a zein-enriched fraction and the second fraction is a zein-depleted fraction and a method of achieving the same. Further described herein is a corn protein product derived from destarched corn gluten meal comprising a first fraction comprising 78 wt % to 83 wt % (dry solids) protein and a second fraction comprising 70 wt % to 80 wt % (dry solids) protein, wherein the first fraction is a zein-enriched fraction and the second fraction is a zein-depleted fraction.
Water-soluble prolamin, preparation thereof, and uses thereof for food-grade application including prolamin compositions combining prolamin and DNA taggants
A water-soluble prolamin composition, such as a zein composition, and methods for producing the same. A method for tagging items comprising applying a plurality of non-coding DNA tags in a prolamin composition, such as a zein composition, wherein the selection of the particular taggants corresponds with a binary or nonbinary code sequence containing information about the tagged items.
