A method of producing a polyurethane foam having reduced density due to the presence of a protein containing composition, said method of producing a polyurethane foam comprising the steps of: (a) mixing a protein containing composition and an isocyanate-based reactant to produce a mixture; and(b) permitting the mixture to produce a polyurethane foam, wherein the protein containing composition is enriched in water-soluble polypeptides in order to reduce the density of the polyurethane foam by at least 5% relative to a polyurethane foam produced from the same mixture except lacking the protein containing component. 15.
