Technological Processes for Obtaining Monolithic Polydisperse Protein-Base Systems

Abstract

This research addresses the challenges of sustainable use of natural polymers, including in technical fields. One of the leading trends in science and industry headway today lies in designing advanced functional materials, e.g. for manufacturing medical items, technical devices, food-processing tools et al. For this purpose, universally applicable technological processes are being developed, including in biotechnology. One of the main goals of this research is to explore ways to consolidate living systems, by instilling in them desirable physical and chemical properties so as to diversify their applications, including in technical fields. Polymers structure and properties have been investigated via raster electron microscopy, spectral analysis, et al.

Structural and Mechanical Aspects of Creating Coatings Based on Biopolymers

“…and, in part, pharmacopeia articles on collagen solutions. More specifically, at the first stage, protein intermediate was obtained (base), as presented in articles [5,6]. First, a base was developed -a minced meat-like product, then it was subjected to fine grinding to the state of an emulsion (suspension).…”

“…A general organoleptic, visual assessment of the studied coating materials is "good", significant deviations in appearance, and odor for experimental samples were not noted. It can be assumed that according to the characteristic features, the material is monolithic [6]. Some physico-chemical characteristics of the liquid protein base for coatings are presented in table 1.…”
