Electrospun zein/eudragit nanofibers based dual drug delivery system for the simultaneous delivery of aceclofenac and pantoprazole.
Int. J. Pharm. 438(1-2) , 117-22, (2012) Electrospun composite zein/eudragit nanofibers were developed with an aim to deliver two different classes of drugs simultaneously that would restrict/compensate the adverse effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Co-administration of proto... |

Optimized zein nanospheres for improved oral bioavailability of atorvastatin.
Int. J. Nanomedicine 10 , 4059-69, (2015) This work focuses on the development of atorvastatin utilizing zein, a natural, safe, and biocompatible polymer, as a nanosized formulation in order to overcome the poor oral bioavailability (12%) of the drug.Twelve experimental runs of atorvastatin-zein nano... |

Development of antioxidant packaging material by applying corn-zein to LLDPE film in combination with phenolic compounds.
J. Food Sci. 77(10) , E273-9, (2012) Functional active packaging materials were successfully developed by incorporating antioxidant agents into corn-zein-laminated linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) film. The minimum effective concentrations of the active compounds (for example, thymol, car... |

Technical note: Quantification of zeins from corn, high-moisture corn, and corn silage using a turbidimetric method: Comparative efficiencies of isopropyl and tert-butyl alcohols
J. Dairy Sci. 95(6) , 3384-9, (2012) Zeins are corn endosperm storage proteins that encapsulate starch granules into a protein matrix, which can act as a barrier to starch accessibility and digestion. Laboratory methods to quantify zein are seldom used because they are considered arduous and tim... |
