Structural Properties of Globulin: A Critical Parameter for Sunflower Meal as Wood Panel Adhesives.

Alternative biobased adhesive formulations are currently being investigated to replace urea-formaldehyde (UF) as wood panel adhesives. In this regard, oilseed meals are valuable alternatives, as it is anticipated that the sticky potential of these meals is linked to their protein content. This work focuses on the protein parameters (primary and/or secondary structures) that could impact the adhesiveness of sunflower meals.
