A novel computerized method, LOTUS package, has been used
for evaluating the kinetic parameters of urea modified soy protein
for various commercial applications (Das et al., 2011). Urea was
used to modify soy protein and did not act as a crosslinker as there
was no change in the absorption band of the neat SPI and SPI
modified with urea. The crystallinity has been calculated by using
the new computerized package method and it showed that the film
possessed amorphous region. The biodegradability of the modified
SPI indicates that they degrade within reasonable time period.
