Cottonseed protein multifunctional polymers
Marquié C., Lecomte J.. 2006. In : Cotton showcased at Cirad. Montpellier : CIRAD-CA, 2 p..
Cottonseed kernels can provide a high quality dietary source of protein. CIRAD has carried out major research in this field. Proteins extracted from the kernel may also be processed into biodegradable materials to replace petroleum-based plastics. CIRAD aims to gain insight into the film-forming and adhesive properties of these proteins and develop innovative industrial manufacturing processes using known techniques.
