Deamidation-enabled fabrication of tough, stretchable, and transparent plant protein hydrogels.

Plant protein hydrogels are promising for food structuring and nutrient delivery, yet conventional soybean protein systems suffer from weak mechanical strength due to particulate aggregation. Enzymatic deamidation can dissociate dense aggregates and improve homogeneity, but limited intermolecular connectivity still res...
