The sentence "It is around 60% soluble in ethanol" in this article is nonsense. When you try to solve a substance (in this case Gliadin) in a given solvent (like alcohol) everything will solve (given enough time) until a fixed maximum (a saturated solution). Talking about percentage solubility is therefore obviously an error. I asume that the origina source this was quoted from said something like "Gliadin is solvable in 60% ethanol". 60% then refers to the concentration of alcohol, not the solubility of the protein. I'm not absolutely sure though. Does anyone have a source on this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.175.97.19 (talk) 14:38, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
