Preparation of low‐allergen natural rubber latex by transglutaminase catalysis

Abstract: The technique of enzyme treatment on the water-soluble proteins and mechanical properties of natural rubber latex (NRL) films was studied. The main aim was to introduce an enzymic catalysis method to tackle the protein allergy problem in NRL product. The suitable pH value, the temperature, and the best proportion of transglutaminase to deal with NRL were found. The protein spillage of modified NRL films was greatly lower than that of unmodified NRL, and the tensile strength and the elongation at break of the m… Show more

“…After extraction, ammonia was used to keep the liquid latex, and this material was centrifuged at 8000rpm. The centrifugation was important because it reduced some proteins contained in natural latex that cause allergic reactions [8,9]. …”

“…Natural rubber latex (NRL), extracted from Hevea brasiliensis tree, are widely used in manufacturing dipped products such as medical gloves, balloons, and condoms due to its low cost, excellent elasticity, and film‐forming property. However, the poor tensile strength of unvulcanized NRL film is a serious defect and limits its application in certain areas.…”
