Edible films and coatings have emerged as an alternative packaging in food applications and have received much attention due to their advantages. The incorporation of essential oils in film matrices to give antimicrobial properties had been observed recently, and could be used as promising preservation technology. In this study, cassava starch-based edible coating incorporated with lemongrass e...

Edible films are thin preformed layers that provide food protection against adverse environmental conditions. Despite milk proteins being functional ingredients can interesting features to films, there is scarce information evaluating their influence on film properties and stability. For this reason, research work compared the mechanical (thickness, tensile strength, elongation at break), hydro...

Two Indian wheat cultivars viz. C-306 and RAJ-3765 were used for gluten extraction and developed gluten based edible film. The wet and dry gluten yield of C-306 cultivar was significantly higher than that of RAJ-3765. Five glycerol concentrations viz. 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 g were tried for film formation and developed films were then compared. Film thickness was independent on glycerol concentration...

Protein-based and other hydrophilic thin films are promising materials for the manufacture of edible food packaging and other food and non-food applications. Calcium caseinate (CaCas) films are highly hygroscopic and physical characterization under broad environmental conditions is critical to application development and film optimization. A new technology, humidity-controlled dynamic mechanica...

Abstract Edible film is an alternative packaging material to replace plastic. Protecting the product from oxidation processes and microbiological activities one of its functions. One biopolymers used for base edible fish gelatine Pangasius sp. skin. Silver nanoparticles Rhizophora mucronata were added increase film’s antioxidant antibacterial ability. This study aims determine effect silver on ...
