Products Description
Corn Gluten Meal is a sustainable plant‑derived co‑product generated from corn wet‑milling and starch fermentation workflows. Rich in zein, glutelin, essential amino acids, lutein and carotenoid compounds, this fine yellow powder comes in full‑hydrolyzed and partial‑hydrolysis variants tailored for different end‑use sectors.
Hydrolyzed corn gluten protein breaks bulky native protein chains into small‑size polypeptides and free amino‑acid fragments. For cosmetic formulations, it builds lightweight, air‑permeable protective films over skin layers. It balances skin oil‑moisture status by capturing ambient moisture and supporting trans‑epidermal water locking. It helps reduce melanin formation via moderating tyrosinase performance, while lowering collagenase and elastase activity to slow extracellular matrix breakdown. This raw material can fill micro‑gaps within impaired stratum corneum, restore skin lipid barrier integrity and ease mild inflammatory responses for sensitive‑type complexions.
The material features renewable botanical origin, excellent biodegradability, zero harsh chemical residuals, and stable functional performance under regular temperature and typical pH ranges. Three distinct grades (cosmetic, feed, food‑grade) are manufactured to satisfy cosmetic production, animal nutrition, human food processing and deep industrial extraction requirements respectively.

Application
1. Cosmetic Manufacturing (Recommended addition: 1%‑5%)
Our hydrolyzed corn gluten meal acts as mild natural functional ingredient for skincare and hair‑care lines. Common finished‑goods include moisturizing toners, anti‑aging serums, brightening creams, barrier‑repair emulsions for sensitive skin, facial sheet masks and hair conditioning formulas. It forms breathable surface film, traps surrounding moisture and repairs compromised skin barrier, effectively mitigating redness and irritations for sensitive‑skin consumers.
2. Animal Feed Production (Recommended addition: 2%‑12%)
Feed‑grade corn gluten meal serves as cost‑effective high‑protein plant additive for poultry, swine, ruminants, aquaculture feed and pet food recipes. Its intrinsic xanthophyll resources deliver natural pigment enhancement for livestock and aquatic species. Balanced essential amino acids optimize daily weight gain and feed conversion efficiency, lowering overall breeding expenses.
3. Food & Nutraceutical Production
Food‑grade corn gluten meal works as plant‑based protein fortifier for nutritional powder mixes and baked goods, and also acts as starting feedstock for natural lutein isolation. Produced complying with strict food hygiene norms with zero industrial additives, only food‑grade variant is permitted for human edible processing workflows. Feed‑grade and cosmetic‑grade materials cannot be adopted for human food manufacturing.
4. Industrial Deep‑Processing Raw Material
Bulk corn gluten meal can be further processed for zeaxanthin extraction and natural bio‑film‑forming agent manufacturing for bio‑material industries. This usage is limited to downstream industrial processing, direct oral consumption is prohibited.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What protein levels can you supply for corn gluten meal?
A: Our baseline specification is crude protein 60‑70%. We accept tailored protein‑index production according to your project requirements.
Q2: Is cosmetic‑grade hydrolyzed corn gluten meal suitable for sensitive‑skin cosmetic lines?
A: Yes. Our hydrolyzed corn gluten protein is non‑toxic, non‑irritating and non‑sensitizing without residual chemical irritants. When dosed within 1‑5% recommended range, it is a preferred natural raw material for sensitive‑skin barrier‑repair product series.
Q3: Which certification files can you provide for export customs clearance?
A: We provide batch‑wise COA, MSDS/SDS documents, FDA GRAS related compliance papers and microbial inspection reports. Kosher and Halal certificates are available as optional add‑ons for cross‑border shipments.
Q4: What packaging selections are available for corn gluten meal goods?
A: 1kg aluminum foil pouch for sample trial purposes; 25kg fiber drum for bulk wholesale. Custom private‑label packaging printed with your brand logo is acceptable.
Q5: What storage conditions should be followed to preserve corn gluten meal quality?
A: Keep product hermetically sealed inside dry, cool, well‑ventilated warehouse premises. Avoid direct sunlight exposure and humid surroundings. Shelf‑life hits 24‑month under proper storage conditions.
Q6: How long will it take for my order to get dispatched and delivered?
A: Small‑batch express samples deliver within 3‑5 working days. Air‑freight bulk cargo takes 5‑7 days transit time. Sea‑freight shipments over 300kg normally take around 30‑day transit. All orders arrange shipment within 7 working days after deposit confirmation.
Q7: Does hydrolyzed corn gluten meal keep stable when blended with other cosmetic raw materials?
A: It demonstrates good compatibility with most humectants, thickeners and plant extracts. No stratification or sediment occurs inside conventional neutral and weak‑alkaline cosmetic formula frameworks. Avoid applying within strong‑acid formula systems (pH＜4).
Q8: Can feed‑grade corn gluten meal blend with other feed raw materials?
A: It can mix with soybean meal, corn flour and fish meal within 2%‑12% adding proportion. It effectively improves overall feed protein level and natural pigment content for poultry, livestock and aquaculture animal feed recipes.
