Soy Protein As Biopolymer

  • Chapter
Biopolymers from Renewable Resources

Part of the book series: Macromolecular Systems — Materials Approach ((MACROSYSTEMS))

Abstract

For many biomedical, agricultural, and ecological purposes, it is desirable to have a biodegradable plastic that will undergo degradation in the physiological environment or by microbial action in the soil. Great effort has been devoted to enhance the biodegradability of plastics, and attempts have been centered mainly around the following areas: new biodegradable polymers, modification of natural polymers, modification of synthetic polymers, and biodegradable polymer composites. In search of biodegradable polymers based on renewable resources, attention has been focused on biopolymers as starting materials. Plant protein is one of the major biopolymers in crops. It is a renewable and biodegradable biopolymer. There are relatively few applications for plant protein as materials. Fibers and plastics have been produced from plant proteins such as casein, zein, glycinin, and arachin. Among these plant proteins, soy protein has the advantage of being economically competitive.
