Abstract
The present invention relates to a malleable protein matrix (MPM), which is the reaction product of the agglomeration of proteins after a fermentation process and is exhibiting biological activities and is suitable for the incorporation (or encapsulation) of various hydrophilic or lipophylic substances. The present invention also relates to the process for the preparation of the malleable protein matrix and its usages.
