New algorithm for the elucidation of functional properties of gelatin-based materials

• Gelatin-based renewable and biodegradable materials were developed. Novel designed using L-fuzzy concepts. Fatty food packaging wound healing applications studied. Optimal formulation for the different requirements was estimated. The new methodology used gives rise to a valid estimation saving important costs. In present work, fish gelatin employed develop materials, reducing environmental problems associated with conventional petroleum-based materials. Glycerol as plasticizer gallic acid added in order enhance functional properties of material. L -fuzzy concept analysis applied modelling formulations films. These is design material avoiding traditional inefficient trial an error approach usually employed. Two developed bio-based analyzed: fatty application area biomedical field. water contact angle (CA), vapour transmission rate (WVTR), colour L* b* values, tensile strength (TS), elongation at break (EB) gloss values specified both applications. Applying proposed algorithm, required estimated experimental results showed high accordance predicted final properties, well requirements. This allowed finding highly cost-effective way.
