摘要
The present work aims to study the influence of reducing agents of sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfite and thioglycolic acid on the equibiaxial extensional deformation of glycerol plasticized wheat gluten and the properties of gluten bioplastics thermo-molded at 125 degrees C. Moisture absorption, weight loss and water uptake, uniaxial tensile properties (Young's modulus, tensile strength, elongation at break and tensile set), and morphology observations were performed to characterize the physical properties of the thermo-molded gluten bioplastics. The results showed that reducing agents facilitated the viscous flow and restrained the elastic recovery of the plasticized gluten while not hindering the crosslinking reaction of gluten proteins during thermo-molding. On the contrary, reducing agents do not significantly influence moisture absorption, Young's modulus, tensile strength and the morphology of the gluten bioplastics thermo-molded at 125 degrees C. It is shown that reducing agents are highly effective for tailoring the flow viscosity of the plasticized gluten dough and the mechanical properties of thermo-molded gluten bioplastics.
