Q: What is zein?
A: Zein is a class of prolamine proteins found in corn that has a number of unique characteristics and functionalities. Pure zein is colorless, odorless, tasteless, hard, and water-insoluble.
Q: How is InvizTM zein made?
A: InvizTM is derived from the less valuable protein in POET’s Dakota Gold® HP™ distillers grains. It differs from
other zein products because POET’s production process fractionates the corn kernel and ferments ethanol
without using heat. For that reason, Inviz is a more pure corn protein than other zein products, which
typically require the use of sulfur dioxide in production.
Q: What is zein used for?
A: Zein can be used in several applications, some which are listed below:
Paper coatings
Biodegradable plastics
Fabric
Agricultural films
Food Packaging
Adhesive
