Abstract
Degradable films from spray-dried (SD) and flash-dried (FD) wheat glut en prepared at various pHs, salt levels, temperatures, and shearing ti mes were compared. Differences were observed in properties of the film s related to processing conditions. Films prepared from SD wheat glute n were thicker, and had higher tensile strengths and Young's moduli. S D wheat gluten solutions applied as coating material resulted in Grade A-quality shell eggs maintaining quality for 30 days at room temperat ure. Additionally, SD wheat gluten coating increased the water stabili ty of starch-based packaging.
