Production of Bio-composite Films from Gum Arabic and Galangal Extract to Prolong the Shelf Life of Agaricus bisporus

Abstract The current study was performed to develop biodegradable films with matrix composed from gum Arabic (GA) and different concentrations Alpinia officinarum phenolic extract (AOE). color indices, physical properties, surface shape, crystallinity, mechanical properties thermal stability of produced were investigated. incorporation AOE (0.25 g/100 mL) inside GA increased dark yellow color, reduced moisture, swelling, solubility water vapor permeability (WVP) up 10.29%, 21.05%, 14.15% 4.20 × 10 −10 g H 2 O/m s p.a., respectively. Furthermore, the scanning electron micrographs showed uniform structure rough turmoil spots in by increasing concentration films. FT-IR analysis typically bands that proved interaction between polymer. fabricated satisfied manners declining trend developed significant effects on reducing changes browning index 17.20 24.54 firmness 33.98 22.65 N Agaricus bisporus caps during storage days compared commercial packaging materials.
