Abstract
Process for the formation of a plasticized proteinaceous material in which a plasticizer component is selectively matched with a protein component to form a blend. The blend is heated under controlled shear conditions to produce the plasticized proteinaceous material having the plasticizer component uniformly distributed within the protein component. The plasticized proteinaceous material is used for a variety of purposes including the production of gums and confectionery compositions.
