Acetone-precipitated zein protein hydrolysates from blue-maize selectively target hepatocellular carcinoma and fibroblasts in a dose-dependent manner

Herein, we investigated the effects of acetone precipitation on the bioactivity of blue-maize zein hydrolysates (BmapZDH) against hepatocarcinoma (HepG2) and non-tumor cells (fibroblasts). Zein proteins were extracted from blue-maize flour hydrolyzed with Alcalase for 6 h, and the peptide fractions...
