Protein content and in vitro protein digestibility of zein and empty zein microparticles. Values are mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). Means within a column that were not significantly different at p < 0.05 were assigned the same letter: protein content (A,B), and in vitro protein digestibility (a,b).
| Sample | Protein content (g/100 g) | In vitro protein digestibility (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Zein (raw material) | 85.4 ± 0.4 A | 93.3 ± 2.2 a |
| Zein microparticles (empty) | 82.9 ± 1.0 B | 50.3 ± 5.8 b |
