“…These results suggest that the loss of soluble matter corresponds basically to the hydrophilic character of GL and W (liquid plasticizer used), which are easily release into the medium. These results are similar to other previously obtained, and also were attributed to the loss of plasticizer [9,11] . Finally, the swelling ratio is very similar for the systems containing GL, regardless of the presence of SB.…”

“…The use of injection-molding technique to produce protein-based bioplastics enable the manufacture of many kinds of shaped products, which entails new arguments in favor of considering these biodegradable polymers as an alternative to synthetic polymers. This technique has been previously used for the elaboration of crayfish-based bioplastics [10] , pea-based bioplastics [11] , albumen-based [8] bioplastics or soy-based bioplastics [12] , among others. However, glycerol has been used as the only plasticizer in these works and sorbitol has not previously tested.…”

SbstractSoy Protein Isolate (SPI) has been evaluated as useful candidate for the development of protein-based bioplastic materials processed by injection molding. The influence of sorbitol (SB) as plasticizer in mechanical properties and water uptake capacity was evaluated in SPI-based bioplastics. A mixing rheometer that allows monitoring torque and temperature during mixing and a small-scale-plunger-type injection molding machine were used to obtain SPI/Plasticizer blends and SPI-based bioplastics, respectively. Dynamic measurements were carried out to obtain mechanical spectra of different bioplastics. Moreover, the mechanical characterization was supplemented with uniaxial tensile tests. Additionally, the influence of SB in water uptake capacity was also evaluated. The introduction of SB leads to increase the rigidity of bioplastics as well as the water uptake capacity after 24h, however it involves a decrease in strain at break. Final bioplastics are plastic materials with both adequate properties for the substitution of conventional petroleum plastics and high biodegradability.

“…In spite of the growing interest in the preparation of bioplastics from legume proteins by melt processing, detailed investigations on the thermal behavior of legume proteins with low moisture content are still lacking in the literature. Only a few studies on the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis of almost dry soy and pea proteins have been reported . In contrast, the literature on the thermal behavior of protein solutions and highly hydrated proteins is quite huge .…”

“…However, information on these techniques for protein‐based bioplastics is scarce, particularly for injection molding. Thus, the potential utility of protein‐based injection‐molded bioplastics to produce any type of shaped consumer products may establish new arguments to consider these novel biopolymers for the manufacturing of products for different applications . To optimize the injection‐molding process, different additives can be helpful because they may facilitate the mixing process as well as the injection‐molding stage in different ways.…”

Proteins have been postulated as a feasible source for manufacturing biodegradable polymeric materials. The aim of this study is the development of bioplastic materials from two different protein sources: albumen protein isolated (API), which consists of globular proteins, and crayfish flour (CF), mostly composed of myofibrillar proteins. In order to explore the effect of some chemical reagents on the mechanical properties of the blends and bioplastic materials, two different additives have been used: sodium sulfite (SS) and urea (U). The first one is a reducing agent, and the second one is considered a denaturing agent. The addition of chemical agents induces changes not only in mechanical properties but also in the most suitable processing conditions, which strongly depends on the protein used. Thus, the denaturation of globular proteins seems to lead to a more consistent blend before the injectionmolding process. However, when myofibrillar proteins are used, the processability of the dough-like material increases after using either SS or U additives. This work illustrates the feasibility of producing animal-based biodegradable bioplastic materials with different properties and, consequently, different applications, which contribute to adding a high value to two different byproducts from the food industry.
