pH-induced interaction mechanism of zearalenone with zein : Binding characteristics, conformational structure and intermolecular forces

Zein-bound zearalenone (ZEN) complexes are naturally existed in maize by their spontaneous interaction, which significantly impacts the risk assessment of ZEN. Additionally, the pH levels in processing could affect the binding or release of zein-bound ZEN. In this study, pH-induced interaction mechanism of ZEN with zein were studied. Results showed that the acid conditions increased the binding constant (Ka) from 3.46 to 10.0 × 104 L/mol, binding energy from -17.38 to -43.49 kJ mol-1. By increasing hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bond of ZEN with zein, the binding of ZEN with zein was promoted, forming zein-bound ZEN. Whereas, alkaline conditions decreased the Ka to 1.45 × 104 L/mol and binding energy to 148.48 kJ mol-1, weakened ZEN-zein interaction and stretched zein molecules, resulting the release of ZEN from zein. This study could provide important theoretical basis for perfecting risk assessment and controlling zein-bound ZEN during processing.
