Poet, the nation's largest ethanol producer, is introducing
a co-product that can be used as a gum base or in films, packaging, adhesives,
coatings and glazes. Inviz is Poet's brand name for zein, a biodegradable,
low-nutrient protein derived from corn-based distillers' grains.
The Sioux Falls,
S.D-based company says in a release that zein is colorless, odorless, tasteless
and edible and can replace petroleum-based ingredients in household products
ranging from pill and food coatings to plastic packaging.
Poet began its research into zein in 2004 through collaboration
with the Peoria, Ill.-based National
Center for Agricultural
Utilization Research.
Poet CEO Jeff Broin says the corn kernel has a lot of
untapped potential and he expects zein to open up many new uses for corn. "Inviz
can be used to make biodegradable plastics, time-release capsules for pills and
other substances, varnish, there are just so many possibilities," says
senior scientist John Lawton in a statement.
