Feb 11, 2019 at 12:38 comment added Jason Starr Welcome new contributor. I still do not understand your assertion. If you insist that $f$ be homogeneous, then please consider the case that $n$ equals $3$ and that $Z$ is the graded $k$-subalgebra of $k[x_1,x_2,x_3]$ generated by $f=x_1^p - x_2^{p-1}x_3$. Then $Z[x_1^p,x_2^p,x_3^p]$ equals $k[x_1^p,x_2^p,x_3^p,x_2^{p-1}x_3]$. This $k$-algebra is not normal, and it is not regular in codimension $1$.

Feb 11, 2019 at 2:36 comment added Jason Starr Welcome new contributor. I do not understand your assertion. Consider the case that $n$ equals $2$ and $Z$ equals the subalgebra of $k[x_1,x_2]$ generated by $f=x_1^p + x_2^{p+1}$. Then $Z[x_1^p,x_2^p]$ equals the $k$-subalgebra $k[x_1^p,x_2^p,x_2^{p+1}]$ of $k[x_1,x_2]$. This $k$-subalgebra is not normal, it is not a complete intersection scheme, and it is not regular in codimension $1$, much less in codimension $2$.
