Gas and Water Vapor Barrier Properties of Edible Films from Protein and Cellulosic Materials

چکیده
Edible films were made from proteins (corn-zein and wheat gluten) and celluloses (methyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose), and tested fog permeability of gases. Oxygen and carbon dioxide permeabilities of edible films were generally lower than those of plastic films. However, water vapor permeabilities of edible films were higher than those of plastic films. The concentration of plasticizer significantly affected the permeability of gases. The gas permeabilities, O,, CO, and water vapor, of cellulose films increased as the concentration of plasticizer increased. Addition of lipid (Myvacet 7-OO’“) in the hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) film decreased the gas permeability Linear relationships were found between permeability of gases and film thickness in protein films.

متن کاملEffect of Physical State of Fatty Acids on the Physical Properties of PGP-Based Emulsified Edible Film
Many factors influence physical properties of edible composite films fabricated from hydrocolloids and lipids. Novel edible emulsified films were made using PGP, glycerol and stearic (SA) or oleic (OA) fatty acids by Tween-80 addition and emulsification of filmogenic solutions. In this study, the effect of physical state of fatty acids on the pistachio globulin protein (PGP) edible film prop...
