Mechanical Properties of Cabbage-Based Edible Films

Abstract:

Effects of drying time, drying temperature, plasticizer and thickening agents on the mechanical properties of cabbage-based edible films were investigated. Films plasticized with glycerol exhibited significantly effect on mechanical properties. Drying time and temperature could show significantly effect on moisture content of the films. Thus, the optimal technology stuff ratio (CMC-Na :gelatine :glycerol :cabbage slurry) was 0.6 :0.3 :3 :96.1. The drying temperature was 55°C, and the drying time was 6.5hrs. The achieved cabbage-based edible films had original flavor, color and suitable strength.
