On the thermal behavior of protein isolated from different legumes investigated by <scp>DSC</scp> and <scp>TGA</scp>

Abstract

Proteins from legumes are suitable to produce thermoplastic biopolymeric materials if isolated at purity higher than 60%. In fact, under this circumstance, they can be denaturized without degrading and thus are suitable for extrusion processing. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
