The "intrinsic" thermal conductivity values of unfrozen wet egg-albumin, wheat gluten and milk casein were determined on the basis of the series heat conduction model to be 0.238, 0.219 and 0.200 [W/m•°C], respectively. The corresponding values for frozen samples were 0.403, 0.315 and 0.273 [W/m•°C], respectively. The "intrinsic" thermal conductivity values of wet proteins determined in the previous and present studies were between the thermal conductivity values of water (or ice) and oils (or fats), in the reverse order of the average hydrophobicity values of proteins.
