Edible films and coatings from soy protein

A method was developed by which films could be prepared from commercial isolated soy protein (ISP). ISP was treated with alkali (ATISP) to alter film properties. Water vapor permeability (WVP), oxygen permeability (O2P), tensile strength (TS), percent elongation (%E), and appearance of ISP and ATISP...

Summary:A method was developed by which films could be prepared from commercial isolated soy protein (ISP). ISP was treated with alkali (ATISP) to alter film properties. Water vapor permeability (WVP), oxygen permeability (O2P), tensile strength (TS), percent elongation (%E), and appearance of ISP and ATISP were compared. Alkali treatment had no effect on WVP, O2P, and TS, gave higher %E, and improved film appearance. Films properties were also compared at pH 6, 8, 10, and 12. In general, pH 6 gave higher WVP and O2P and lower TS and %E; while higher pH gave lower WVP and O2P and higher TS and %E. ATISP films could not be produced at pH 6. Film appearance generally improved with increased pH
