The unique physicochemical properties of the zein protein have led to a wide variety of applications in different industries, especially in the fields of food and biomedicine. The investigation of zein‐based delivery systems is of particular interest for hydrophobic drugs and nutrients. In their review, Yangchao Luo and Qin Wang summarize the technological strategies of fabrication techniques for zein‐based micro‐ and nano‐particles and their delivery applications. Given the fast‐growing field of zein‐based delivery systems, they anticipate that the development of advanced zein‐based micro‐ and nano‐structured delivery systems will expand to new applications.
