The aim of this research was to determine the effect of addition of pectin on characteristics of edible film from gelatin of red snapper (Lutjanus argentimacalatus) skin. Concentration of pectin used were 0%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1%. Water content, thickness, tensile strength, elongation, and the transmition rate of the water vapor of edible film were analysed. Results from analysis of variance showed that different concentration of pectin significantly affected (P<0.05) on the water content, thickness, tensile strength, elongation, and transmition rate of water vapor of edible film. Therefore, it was suggested that addition of 0.6% of pectin showed a good quality of edible film and in accordance with the Japan International Standard (JIS).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
