in this study, the effect of mentha piperita essence (mpe) incorporation into cassava films on the hydrophilic and physicochemical properties of the resulting biodegradable films was investigated. the properties included solubility, moisture uptake and contact angle. mpe was added into biodegradable films at different amounts (1, 2 and 3%, w/w total solid). all biofilms were plasticized with 40...

The rearrangement of the oil droplets in the film matrix during film drying, which defines its internal and surface structure, has an important role in the optical and mechanical properties of the emulsion-based films. The objective of this work was to study the effect of oil concentration and the use of surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) over color and mechanical properties of hydroxyprop...

Edible films from chitosan, cassava starch, and gelatin plasticized with glycerol have been developed by casting method, and the effects of cassava starch (50, 100 and 150 g per 100 g of chitosan), gelatin (0, 25 and 50 g per 100 g of chitosan) and glycerol (21, 42 and 63 g per 100 g of chitosan) from the film solution on various properties of chitosan-based films have been studied using respon...

Edible composite packaging has the advantage of complementary functional properties over its individual bio-components. However, film composites made from caseinate (CA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCH) have not yet been well explored. In this study, four types CA-CMCH films were prepared evaluated with without transglutaminase (TGase) supplement. Aqueous CA (8%, w/v) CMCH solutions (2%, mixed...

Nowadays, edible and eco-friendly packaging applications have been studied as an alternative to conventional/synthetic due the great interest of consumers in healthy, safe, natural food, researchers meeting needs producers. Various biopolymers are being extensively explored potential materials for food packaging. The utilized so far include proteins, lipids, polysaccharides. Occasionally, these...

Edible films and coatings have currently received increasing interest because of their potential in food applications. This study examined the effect incorporated essential oils natural plant extracts on characteristics composite seaweed hydrocolloid gac pulp films. Films were prepared by a casting technique, followed measurement physical, optical, barrier, mechanical, structural properties. Th...

Introduction: Consumption of appropriate amount of probiotic microorganisms via food products have health benefits on the host. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in research on the characterization and verification potential use of probiotic films in food industry. The aim of the current study was to investigate in vitro antimicrobial property of p...
