Abstract

A processed fiber product having excellent strength, water-absorbability and washing durability can be produced by attaching a partially hydrolyzed product of a wheat protein to a fiber and then allowing a transglutaminase to act on the fiber.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A processed fiber, which is prepared by attaching a partially hydrolyzed wheat protein to a surface of a fiber and treating the fiber with a transglutaminase. 
   
   
       2 . A processed fiber according to  claim 1 , wherein said partially hydrolyzed wheat protein is prepared by treating a wheat protein with an enzyme, an acid, or an alkali. 
   
   
       3 . A processed fiber according to  claim 1 , wherein said partially hydrolyzed wheat protein has a number average molecular weight of 700 to 50,000. 
   
   
       4 . A processed fiber according to  claim 2 , wherein said partially hydrolyzed wheat protein has a number average molecular weight of 700 to 50,000. 
   
   
       5 . A fabric, which comprises at least one fiber according to  claim 1 . 
   
   
       6 . A fabric, which comprises at least one fiber according to  claim 2 . 
   
   
       7 . A fabric, which comprises at least one fiber according to  claim 3 . 
   
   
       8 . A fabric, which comprises at least one fiber according to  claim 4 . 
   
   
       9 . A method for producing a processed fiber, comprising:
 attaching a partially hydrolyzed wheat protein to a surface of a fiber and treating said fiber with a transglutaminase.   
   
   
       10 . A method according to  claim 9 , wherein said partially hydrolyzed wheat protein is prepared by treating a wheat protein with an enzyme, an acid, or an alkali. 
   
   
       11 . A method according to  claim 9 , wherein said partially hydrolyzed wheat protein has a number average molecular weight of 700 to 50,000. 
   
   
       12 . A method according to  claim 10  wherein said partially hydrolyzed wheat protein has a number average molecular weight of 700 to 50,000. 
   
   
       13 . A method according to  claim 9 , wherein said fiber is contained in a fabric. 
   
   
       14 . A method according to  claim 10 , wherein said fiber is contained in a fabric. 
   
   
       15 . A method for producing a processed fiber, comprising contacting a fiber with a partially hydrolyzed wheat protein and a transglutaminase, to obtain a fiber which in which said partially hydrolyzed wheat protein is attached to said fiber. 
   
   
       16 . A method according to  claim 15 , wherein said fiber is contacted with said partially hydrolyzed wheat protein prior to being contacted with said transglutaminase. 
   
   
       17 . A method according to  claim 15 , wherein said fiber is contacted with said partially hydrolyzed wheat protein and said transglutaminase simultaneously. 
   
   
       18 . A method according to  claim 15 , wherein said partially hydrolyzed wheat protein is prepared by treating a wheat protein with an enzyme, an acid, or an alkali. 
   
   
       19 . A method according to  claim 15 , wherein said partially hydrolyzed wheat protein has a number average molecular weight of 700 to 50,000. 
   
   
       20 . A method according to  claim 15 , wherein said fiber is contained in a fabric.
