Abstract:
A method for producing an aqueous, gluten-derived colloidal dispersion, which upon application to a substrate imparts a gloss thereon, comprising:a) preparing an aqueous dispersion of gluten under agitating conditions;b) heating the product of step a) to a temperature sufficient to gelatinize the starch contained in the gluten;c) hydrolyzing essentially all starch within the dispersion with a starch hydrolyzing enzyme;d) hydrolyzing protein contained in the gluten using a protease under conditions sufficient to change the gluten dispersion viscosity; ande) heating the colloidal dispersion to inactivate the protease and stabilize the colloidal dispersion; thereby producing an aqueous, gluten-derived colloidal dispersion which upon application to a substrate imparts a gloss thereon.
