Effect of composition and mechanoactivation on the properties of films based on starch and chitosans with high and low deacetylation

Development and characterization of chitosan films carrying Artemisia campestris antioxidants for potential use as active food packaging materials

“…It is important to investigate the rheological properties of the casting solutions of the bicomponent films to control their manufacturing process [39]. The experimental flow curves for different film-forming solutions are presented in Fig.…”

Characterizations and antibacterial activities of passion fruit peel pectin/chitosan composite films incorporated Piper betle L. leaf extract for preservation of purple eggplants

“…The mechanical properties are important indexes of composite packaging membranes [ 56 ]. To evaluate the effect of PB leaf extract on the mechanical properties of the films, the tensile strength, elongation at break, and elastic modulus were measured as shown in Table 3 .…”

Corn Starch‐Chitosan Proportion Affects Biodegradable Film Performance for Food Packaging Purposes

“…Therefore, CH molecular weight (MW) should be considered as a setting parameter since CH films properties are highly dependent on polysaccharide MW. [22][23][24] It has been demonstrated that CH films exhibited low WVP and antimicrobial capacity, [25] while CS led to transparent films with heat-sealing ability, high biodegradation rate, low oxygen permeability, with a competitive low production cost. [23,26] Thus, the optimization of CH:CS proportion is a good alternative to improve biodegradable matrices properties focused on food packaging.…”
