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...

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...

the effect of oleic and stearic acids on the water vapor permeability (wvp) and mechanical properties of sodium caseinate films was investigated. emulsifiers (span 80 and 85) were employed to produce the base mixture of film. tensile strength (ts), elongation (e) and young's modulus (ym) were obtained for both standard (without lipids) and hydrophobic films. results showed that the additio...

in this study the feasibility of using salep as a new film-forming material was studied. the mechanical properties, water vapor permeability and thickness of salep films incorporated with glycerol were determined. increasing the content of dry material of salep from 1% to 3%(w/v) increased values for tensile strength and elongation at break from 16.16% and 18.85 mpa to 70.15% and 24.50 mpa resp...

it is only thirteen years since the scanning electron microscope has been available commercially. yet, even in this short period of time, this instrument has been a powerful tool in the investigation of topography, electrical and magnetic properties, crystal structure, cathodoluminescent characteristics etc. of solid specimens. today, this type of microscope has opened its place alongside the c...

Biodegradable chitosan can be applied as a coating on the surface of kraft paper in order to improve its barrier properties against water vapor and air. The food packaging industry can benefit from the addition of chitosan to its current packaging, and in turn reduce pollution from plastic packaging plants. This paper discusses the film formation of chitosan, the permeability of paper coated wi...

Edible and/or biodegradable films usually have limited water vapor barriers, making it difficult to use them. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of a chemical reticulation treatment with formaldehyde and glyoxal on the mechanical properties, water vapor permeability, solubility and color parameters of gelatin-based films. Formaldehyde and glyoxal were added to the filmo...
