Abstract (en)

[origin: US2006282958A1] A series of new manufactured protein fibers from wheat proteins, a method and kit for production of these wheat protein fibers is provided. The method may include dissolving wheat proteins by use of at least one of an alkali, acid, alcohol, reducing agent, amino acid, chemical additive, or salt in weight ratios ranging between approximately 0.5 percent and 50 percent by weight of a single wheat protein or a combination of one or more wheat proteins. Further, the method may involve aging the dissolved wheat proteins at temperatures from approximately minus thirty degrees Celsius (-30° C.) to one hundred and fifty degrees Celsius (150° C.) for approximately one to eighty hours to obtain a spinnable solution. In addition, the method entails extruding the dissolved wheat proteins into a coagulation bath to precipitate the wheat protein fibers in which the coagulation bath includes at least one of an alkali, acid or salt.
