Table 4.

Fractions of secondary structure of zein in the absence and presence of EA.

Sample	α-helix	β-sheet	β-turn	Random Coil
Zein	51.12 ± 0.83 ^b	12.51 ± 0.98 ^c	16.91 ± 0.77 ^a	19.46 ± 0.58 ^a
Zein-0.1 mg/mL EA	53.55 ± 0.50 ^a	16.35 ± 0.39 ^b	14.82 ± 0.96 ^b	15.28 ± 0.19 ^b
Zein-1 mg/mL EA	55.82 ± 0.90 ^a	19.52 ± 0.36 ^a	13.36 ± 0.73 ^b	11.30 ± 0.65 ^c

EA: ellagic acid; Zein-0.1 mg/mL EA: 0.05 mg/mL Zein reacted with 0.1 mg/mL EA; Zein-1 mg/mL EA: 0.05 mg/mL Zein reacted with 1 mg/mL EA. Different letters are significantly different (p < 0.05).
