biological packaging material based on obtained proteins from fish waste, are biopolymers that have the capability of biodegradable film formation. thus, purpose of this research is to study and investigate some of films’ physical features made from trout fish myofibril protein. the film forming solution containing 1.5%, 2% and 2.5%(w/v)myofibril protein isolate of 100ml solution and glycerol a...

Replacement of plastics used in the food industry seems to be a serious issue to overcome mainly the environmental problems in recent years. This study investigates the hydrophilicity and permeability properties of starch biopolymer which ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) (0-10%) and nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) (1-15%) were used to enhance its properties. Starch -EVOH nanocomposites were prepar...

The objective of the present study was to apply the polysaccharides from different nontraditional sources for cheese coatings. Chitosan, galactomannan from Gleditsia triacanthos, and agar from Glacilaria birdiae were tested, with different formulations and with the addition of plasticizer and corn oil. The surface properties of the cheese and the wetting capacity of the coatings on the cheese w...

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...

in the past decades, environmental pollution caused by plastic packing materials, restrictions of petroleum resources and their high price attracted many researchers to produce biodegradable packaging materials. poor mechanic properties and high water vapor permeability are two main defects of biodegradable polymers. nanotechnology is a modification method in this case. in the current study, th...

polyamide 6 has been widely used in food packaging applications and also green tea contains amounts of antioxidant compounds. the aim of this study was investigation of green tea effects on properties of polyamide packaging polymer. polyamide 6 was dissolved in methanol which was saturated with calcium chloride. the active packaging film was produced by incorporation of methanol green tea extra...

Polysaccharides constitute an important source of raw materials for the packaging industry today. Polysaccharides have good natural barrier properties which are necessary for packaging films. Cellulose is the forerunner among renewable polymers for such applications. Hemicelluloses represent a new interesting breed of barrier materials. We have chosen to work with the hemicellulose O-acetylgala...
