Abstract:
A method for manufacturing carboxylic acid and amino acid or ammo acid condensate reaction products, comprising the steps of:mixing, in an aqueous system, at least one carboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of acetic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, pectin, pectin decomposition products, alginic acid, alginic acid decomposition products, and sodium or potassium salts thereof with at least one amino acid or anino acid condensate selected from the group consisting of soy protein, zein gluten, casein, whey protein, gelatin, and egg white albumin, wherein the carboxylic acid is mixed with the amino acid or amino acid condensate at a ratio between 50:1 and 1:50; and heating the mixture in an absence of a catalyst to a temperature greater than 105Â° C. in a closed container capable of withstanding the pressure generated thereby until a carboxylic acid and amino acid or amino acid condensate reaction product is produced.
