BACKGROUND: Zein has been widely used as a controlled release medicinal materials and biodegradable materials in the pharmaceutical field.
OBJECTIVE: To review the research progresses on physical and chemical modification method of zein.
METHODS: A computer-based online search of the articles related to zein from CNKI database and PubMed database was performed with the key words “zein, mordification, graft” both in Chinese and in English. The articles related to the research on the modification zein were selected; articles in the same circle published in recent years or in authorized journals.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The modification of zein has been reviewed and which will be helpful to guide the research on modification of zein, so as to increase utility value of zein on the subjects of pharmaceutics and biomedical engineering.
