Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing a molded article in which the molding ability of a protein is improved. Also provided is a composition for molding consisting of at least a mixture of a protein and a pyrolytic water discharge substance is compressed to produce a molded article.
Claims11
A method for manufacturing a molded article comprising:
- heating a composition for molding containing a pyrolytic water discharge substance which decomposes due to pyrolysis to generate water molecules, and a fibroin, and applying pressure to mold the composition while pyrolyzing the pyrolytic water discharge substance,
- wherein an increase in the amount of weight (Pw) of water released during pyrolysis relative to a weight of the pyrolytic water discharge substance provides an increase in fluidity of the fibroin during molding.
