α-Zein, an edible prolamine protein generally recognized as safe (GRAS), is a well research protein material in the field of biomaterials for cell culture applications. Obtained from the corn kernel and available at an industrial scale, it is a water-insoluble protein with good viscoelastic properties. These properties make it suitable for efficient fiber fabrication and developing an edible 3D scaffold with defined parameters, offering exciting possibilities for cell culture in tissue engineering.
However, the zein fiber is strongly hydrophobic, and the 3D scaffolds may deform in aqueous cell culture media.
