Scale-Up Preparation and Characterization of Collagen/Sodium Alginate Blend Films

Abstract

In an effort to produce scale-up of edible films, collagen-based films including different amounts of sodium alginate (CS) were prepared by casting method. Films were characterized based on their rheological, thermal, and mechanical properties, water vapor permeability (WVP), and oxygen permeability (OP). The microstructures were also evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Furthermore, the addition of sodium alginate effectively improved the viscosity and thermal stability, significantly increased TS, and decreased and WVP ( < 0.05), but with no obvious effect on OP ( > 0.05). SEM and AFM showed homogeneous matrix, with no signs of phase separation in the blends. Overall, films (CS2) produced using collagen (g) : sodium alginate (g) = 10 : 2 showed suitable rheological property (apparent viscosity was 4.87 m Pa s −1 ) and better TS (26.49 Mpa), (64.98%), WVP (1.79 × 10 −10 g⋅cm −1 ⋅s −1 ⋅Pa −1 ), and OP (3.77 × 10 −5 cm 3 ⋅m −2 ⋅d −1 ⋅Pa −1 ).

Formulation of alginate based hydrogel from brown seaweed, Turbinaria conoides for biomedical applications

“…Followed by, Pereira [39] has illustrated the thickness of ALG/ Aloe vera film between 59.7 and 75.3 μm. Wang [40] in their work depicted that the thickness of the ALG/COL film was nearest to 0.01 mm. Hence in the present case, the increase in film thickness was observed due to the incorporation of different proportions of COL and GLY.…”

Optimization of fenugreek and flax polysaccharides‐based edible coating formulation to preserve the quality and storability of apple after harvesting

“…The flow‐behavior of coating solutions is a detrimental parameter because it could affect the spread‐ability, thickness, adhesion to substrate, uniformity of the coating layer, the mechanical properties, microstructure, and the application and processing design (Xiao, Tong, & Lim, 2012). Moreover, flow property modeling of coating solutions is useful technologically to identify the most appropriate coating system design and to optimize operating conditions (Wang et al, 2017). The variation of viscosity and shear stress of all coating formulations depicted in Figure 1.…”

“…Flow properties of edible coatings solutions are useful for identifying the most appropriate coating system and optimizing operating conditions (Wang, Hu, & Wang, 2017). The rheological properties of fenugreek and flaxseed polysaccharides coating solutions were characterized by a rheometer (TA instruments, New Castle, USA) fitted with a parallel steel plate (40 mm diameter, 1.0 mm gap).…”
