Fiber from Peanut Protein

Abstract

Research at the Southern Regional Research Laboratory has resulted in the de velopment of a fiber produced from peanut protein which has been named Sarelon. This fiber is light-cream-colored in its natural state and possesses a soft hand and a warmth similar to that of wool. It possesses an affinity for dyes normally used on protein fibers and may be dyed with vat and direct cotton dyes. Its major weak ness, like that of all synthetic protein fibers, is its low strength.

Fibers from soybean protein and poly(vinyl alcohol)

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] In 1935, the Italian firm Sina Viscosa began large-scale production of casein fibers known as Lanital. 2 Shortly afterward, Courtaulds in England adopted the Ferretti process to produce milk and soybean protein fibers.…”

“…Fibers based on casein, soybean, peanut, zein, gelatin, glue, collagen, and other proteins have received considerable attention in the United States, Europe, and Japan as an inexpensive substitute for wool and silk fibers.
