The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of pH(7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0) on the properties of soy protein isolate (SPI)/guar gum (GG)composite films casted with 0.2 %(w/v)guar gum polysaccharide, 5.0 %(w/v)SPI, 1.5 %(w/v)glycerol plasticizer, and 4:1(v/v) mixture of distilled water and anhydrous alcohol. Composite membranes from different pH conditions were evaluated from following aspects: tensile strength (TS), elongation at break (EB), water vapor permeability (WVP), water solubility (WS) and surface hydrophobicity(SH)

Composite materials based on proteins and carbohydrates normally offer improved water solubility, biodegradability, and biocompatibility, which make them attractive for a wide range of applications. Soy protein isolate (SPI) has shown superabsorbent properties that are useful in fields such as agriculture. Alginate salts (ALG) are linear anionic polysaccharides obtained at a low cost from brown algae, displaying a good enough biocompatibility to be considered for medical applications. As alginates are quite hydrophilic, the exchange of ions from guluronic acid present in its molecular structure with divalent cations, particularly Ca2+, may induce its gelation, which would inhibit its solubilization in water. Both biopolymers SPI and ALG were used to produce composites through injection moulding using glycerol (Gly) as a plasticizer. Different biopolymer/plasticizer ratios were employed, and the SPI/ALG ratio within the biopolymer fraction was also varied. Furthermore, composites were immersed in different CaCl2 solutions to inhibit the amount of soluble matter loss and to enhance the mechanical properties of the resulting porous matrices. The main goal of the present work was the development and characterization of green porous matrices with inhibited solubility thanks to the gelation of alginate.
