Description
Narueporn Payungwong and co-authors trace how protein breakdown and ammonia jointly govern rubber latex stability in storage, in this 2023 paper. Fresh latex from the Hevea tree spoils under enzyme attack. Ammonia is the standard preservative, but its dance with the latex's own proteins stayed murky.
The team stored high-ammonia latex, a low-ammonia mix with a backup preservative, and a deproteinized latex. Fluorescent labels and microscope imaging tracked how protein makeup shifted over time. The comparison clarifies when preservation helps and when protein loss undermines the colloid. Findings serve an industry that ships latex worldwide.
