Preparation of Edible Films Made from Chitosan with Pomegranate Peel Extract and Study Its Barrier, Mechanical and Antioxidant Properties

Abstract The goal of this work was to evaluate the effect adding extract Pomegranate peels (PPE) on mechanical, reservation and antioxidant properties edible chitosan films. findings showed that film, supported by pomegranate peels, possessed distinctive properties, as thickness, tensile strength, elongation, oxygen permeability, permeability water vapor solubility were 60 µm, 27.6 (Mpa),18.3%,30.13(ml / m 2 * day), 2.91(g.mm/day.m KPa), 23.12% respectively, whereas in control film they 30 19.2 (Mpa),10.6%, 60.47(ml 2.30(g.mm/day.m 26.50% respectively. Edible films incorporated with an activity 66.42% compared standard BHA (Butylated hydroxyl anisole) Ascorbic acid which 27.44% 80.54%, respectively.In respect optical proprieties ?E value samples 8.7%,and (L, a, b) (26.46,40.01, 2.02) while for Sample 26.37% (72.24,1.09,5.30)
