The Properties of Ultra-High Pressure Treated Chitosan Edible Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Ultra-High Pressure (UHP) technology has not been reported in modifying chitosan. This paper studied the properties of UHP treated chitosan edible films. The results show that the Ultra-high Pressure (UHP) treatment can increase the Tensile Strength of the chitosan films and lower the Elongation percentage, Water Vapor Permeability and Oxygen Permeability rate values. The structure of treated films is more stable and compact than control samples. In the experimental test range, the optimum condition for UHP treatment is 400 MPa.
