Abstract
The invention provides a method for preparing a binder precursor, the method comprising the steps of: i) mixing (A) fungi or glucan and (B) starch with an alkaline agent in the presence of an aqueous solvent system to form an alkaline composition; ii) mixing the alkaline composition with an acidic agent to form a mixture; and iii) drying the mixture and forming a powder therefrom, so as to form a powdered binder precursor.
Claims24
A method for preparing a binder precursor, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- i) mixing (A) fungi or glucan and (B) starch with an alkaline agent, in the presence of an aqueous solvent system, to form an alkaline composition;
- ii) mixing the alkaline composition with an acidic agent to form a mixture;
- and then
- iii) drying the mixture to contain 10 wt. % or less solvent but greater than 0 wt. % solvent, and forming a powder therefrom, so as to form a powdered binder precursor;
- or wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- i) mixing (A) fungi or glucan and (B) starch with an acidic agent in the presence of an aqueous solvent system to form an acidic composition;
- ii) mixing the acidic composition with an alkaline agent to form a mixture;
- and then
- iii) drying the mixture to contain 10 wt. % or less solvent but greater than 0 wt. % solvent, and forming a powder therefrom, so as to form a powdered binder precursor.
