Abstract
Edible films were made using glycerol and β-casein that had been stored for 16 months at -29 and +22.5°C. Water vapor permeability at 22.5°C was determined for two relative humidity gradients. Stress-strain curves for mechanical property evaluation were obtained by dynamic mechanical analysis. Film structure was observed by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Protein storage temperature did not significantly affect water vapor permeability, elongation, or observed structure; however, differences in yield strength, modulus of elasticity, and tensile strength were detected.
