摘　　要：Gliadins are stored in plant seeds,such as gliadins in wheat and corn.Zein has good film forming,oil retention,water retention,stability,thermal plasticity,oxidation resistance and biodegradability,and zein can be dissolved in ethanol solution.These functional properties make zein have a wide application prospect in food,medicine,textile,environmental protection and other fields.This paper briefly introduces the source,structure and amino acid composition of zein,focuses on the extraction technology of zein,summarizes the functional properties of zein,and analyzes the modification methods of zein.In the long run,summarizing the functional characteristics of zein has a certain reference value for its application in the future and large-scale production.
