Water vapour barrier performance of corn-zein coated polypropylene (PP) packaging films

Abstract: The novel film structure of corn-zein coated on polypropylene (PP) synthetic film for packaging industry was developed to examine the feasibility of resulting coated films as an alternative water barrier performance for food packaging. The effects of coating formulation (solvent, corn-zein, plasticizer concentration and plasticizer type) on final properties of films were observed. Corn-zein is the most important protein of corn and has good film forming property. Composites structures of PP films coated with c… Show more

“…To improve zein films, several different options have been explored: adding plasticizers (e.g., oleic acid, polyethylene glycol, glycerol, etc.) [ 128 , 129 ], adding micro- or nanoparticles (e.g., zinc or silver) [ 129 , 130 ], using other biopolymers to create better biopolymer blends (e.g., PP, PLA, etc. ), [ 123 , 125 , 129 , 131 , 132 ] or adding other compounds (e.g., tannic acid, gamma-Cyclodextrin, etc.)…”

“…Thus the edible coating improves the food quality and extend the shelf-life of fresh produce. It is effective in preventing the microbial contamination [1]. The edible coating technology has been considered as one of the potential approaches to protect the losses of fruits during post-harvest handling [2].…”
