Physical and Mechanical Properties of Chitosan Films Incorporated with Florida Mandarin Oil

Article Preview

Abstract:

Florida mandarin oil-chitosan composite films were prepared with chitosan (CS), Florida mandarin oil (FMO) by casting-evaporation-alkali leaching method. Influences of FMO to mechanical properties, water contact angle, water-solubility of films were evaluated. The results demonstrated that decrease of film tensile strength was caused by addition of FMO. When FMO content was 4%, elongation at break reached the maximum (2.81±0.01%). Water contact angle and solubility of film increased with increase of FMO content, maximums were 81.80±0.09° and 1.51±0.02 mg/100 g H2O, respectively.
