I am looking for information about the processing of gluten in lab scale, in order to obtain shaped materials. I read about the possibilities of i) casting (probably preferable for me) and ii) thermoplasticizing. In the first case solvents are used to solubilize/disperse gluten, along with an acid or a base to make solubilization possible/efficient. What I am wishing are more detailed or actual lab experiences.

Thank you
