Problems solved by technology

The plasticizer forms a hydrogen bond with the protein, thereby breaking the hydrogen bond of the protein, but the primary and secondary structures of the protein have not changed, so the strength of the protein has not changed much, and the gum base of the chewing gum is not ideal enough

Abstract

The present invention features that yellow corn powder as corn processing leftover is used as main material, into which ethanol is added to produce alcohol soluble protein for producing gum. Alcoholsoluble corn protein as gum is produced through adding 70-90 % concentration ethanol solution into yellow corn powder and immediate microwave treatment, and is modified with chitosan and crosslinkingagent to form chitosan-alcohol soluble protein gum. The gum is mixed with sweetener, edible essence and color to produce biodegradable chewing gum with bacteriostasis function. The present invention opens one new way for producing environment-protecting chewing gum.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chewing gum production and is related to food chemistry. Background technique [0002] Corn yellow powder, also known as corn gluten, is a large amount of by-products in the production of corn starch, containing rich zein (about 60%), and was generally used as feed in the past. There have been reports about extracting zein from corn yellow powder. For example, the Chinese invention patent application with application number 00101222.3 discloses a method for extracting zein. The method uses 60%-95% ethanol as a solvent, 60- It needs to be extracted for 90 minutes at 70°C, and the extracted zein is mainly used in packaging materials. This method requires a long time (90 minutes) and high energy consumption. [0003] Zein is a natural polymer material with certain film-forming properties. If it is specially modified, it can achieve high elasticity and high strength, and can replace the gum base of chewing ...
