Destarched corn gluten meal fractionation with aqueous alcohol yields a food-usable zein-depleted protein fraction with much higher protein content.
Enzymatic hydrolysis overcomes poor corn protein solubility by breaking peptide bonds to create stable, soluble hydrolysates for food applications.
Enzymatic hydrolysis isolates alpha-prolamin from corn gluten meal, eliminating solvent loss and energy-intensive evaporation steps.
