Zein, also known as prolamine, is a food protein widely found in plants. It is easily soluble in 80%–92% ethanol or 70%–80% acetone, but insoluble in water or anhydrous ethanol. It is widely used as a film-forming material in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.

This product, composed of approximately 90% food protein, possesses excellent binding, gloss, hydrophobicity, oxygen barrier properties, and film-forming capabilities. It is a green product widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
It exhibits high resistance to microbial attack and can be used as a coating material for various pharmaceuticals and foods such as candies, nuts, and grains that require gloss and moisture retention.
When added to films and coatings, it provides the surface with a firm texture, gloss, abrasion resistance, and oil resistance.
It is edible and can be widely used as a surface coating for food packaging paper, especially for packaging paper used for oils and frozen foods.
When rice is fortified with vitamins, spraying the outer layer with this food-grade coating prevents the vitamins applied to the rice grains from being washed away during rinsing.
