Preparation and Characterization of Chitosan Edible Film

Abstract:

The influence of factors, including different raw material ratio, drying temperature, concentration of glycerol and degassing time, on properties of chitosan edible film was studied. The results showed that higher mechanical properties of films could be achieved when chitosan and glycerin concentration were 1.5% and 0.5% respectively, and dried temperature was 55°C. Addition of proper amount of plasticizer could improve the properties of film.
