[Rheology and spinning of alkaline solution of field bean protein and casein]

From field bean protein and a mixture of field bean protein with casein to equal parts are prepared with sodium hydroxide high protein-containing alkaline solutions, which show pseudoplastic flow. The flow curves of the pseudoplastic field bean protein-casein (I:I)-solutions are described mathematically with the Ostwaldian power statement. In a suitable scope of spinning of this solutions are carried out complete factorial experiments, which guide to regression equations of lg k and n. g k depends on the concentration of protein; an effect of the sodium hydroxide concentration exists lonly about interactions. On the other hand the flow exponent n depends on the hydroxide concentration. The properties of the spun field bean protein/casein (I:I) fibres are described.
