✓ Conclusion: The Product Conforms to Qualified standards.
The CAS number for ZEIN is 9010-66-6, and its EINECS registry number is 232-722-9.
ZEIN is standardly packaged in 25kg drums and has a shelf life of 2 years when stored under appropriate dry and cool conditions.
It typically presents as a yellow or yellowish powder, conforming to strict quality standards.
Heavy metals are strictly controlled at ≤20ppm. The microbiological limits require the total aerobe count to be ≤1000cfu/g, yeast & mold to be ≤100cfu/g, and testing must show negative results for E. Coli.
On a dried basis, the nitrogen assay specification for ZEIN ranges between 13.1% and 17.0%. The tested sample batch shows an actual result of 14.22%.
