The effect of moisture content on native soy glycinin is determined using small-angle scattering techniques. Scattering data suggest that the protein expands as the moisture content increases and a hexagonal crystal structure is demonstrated. Scattering data are complemented by electron microscopy, indicating a corresponding expansion of the microstructure with moisture content.
