Isolation and utilization of vegetable proteins

  • Published:
Economic Botany Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Among these proteins, those of soybean are isolated in the United States to the extent of about 30 million pounds annually, more than halt of which are used in pigment coating of paper. Others, also discussed in this article, are those derived from the seed of flax, sunflower, castor, peanut, cottonseed and corn.
