Abstract

Gliadins were electrospun into ultrafine fibrous membrane-like materials to evaluate their processability and suitability as bio-absorbents. From a wide range of tested protein concentrations and processing conditions, 15 and 20% protein solutions were optimal to produce uniform fibers with sizes
