Application of zein in gluten-free foods: A comprehensive review

Yingying Zhang et al.

Summary: The gluten-free food market is growing globally, and zein shows potential as a substitute for gluten in gluten-free food production. However, existing research on zein is limited to its characteristics and application in bread and noodles, lacking a comparison with gluten and its use in other foods like meat analogues. In this study, we compared the molecular structures of zein and gluten to better utilize zein in gluten-free food production. We comprehensively summarized the application of zein in gluten-free systems, the factors affecting zein functionality, and its potential in meat analogues. Challenges in using zein dough to produce desired bread include weak elasticity and insufficient gas retention ability. However, additives and modifications, such as organic acids and thermal treatment, can improve zein functionality by increasing molecular flexibility or elasticity. Future research should focus on enhancing the elasticity and gas retention ability of zein-starch dough and reducing zein's high glass transition temperature. Attention is also needed when applying zein in meat analogues due to its ability to form a fibrous texture.

Summary: This review provides an overview of the challenges and limitations in the developments of biodegradable intelligent, active, and smart packaging for food application. Essential oils and plant extracts are successfully used in the development of intelligent and active biodegradable packages for foods. Polyphenols, especially anthocyanins, play a central role in the main application of intelligent and active packaging by indicating changes in food characteristics or improving shelf life. Smart biodegradable packaging is an emerging and promising area of research that has gained increasing attention in recent years, and it is a significant development from its two predecessors' strategies. Improvements are needed in reducing the dependency on pH change in intelligent packaging, enhancing the controlled release of bioactive compounds in active packaging, and developing strategies to preserve film integrity in smart packaging.
