Define Thermal Coagulation and Film Formation?

1. Thermal Coagulation and Film Formation: Concentrated soy proteins can be thermally coagulated on a flat metallic surface, such as that of a drum dryer. Resulting thin, hydrated films can be folded, pressed together and cut.

2. Fiber formation: Fiber spinning of vegetable (especially soy) and milk proteins bears many similarities to the spinning of synthetic textile fibers. It is usually necessary to start from isolates containing 90% protein or more. Four to five successive operations are necessary and can be done continuously.
