Permeability properties of an edible methylcellulose-palmitic acid film

Creator:

Rico-Pena, Delmy del Carmen

Abstract:

The use of edible coatings in combination with antimicrobial agents enhances the microbial stability of foods. In this study we evaluated the potassium sorbate and sorbic acid permeability of an edible methylcellulose (MC) - palmitic acid (PA) film with a MC:PA ratio of 3:1. Permeability cell measurements were used to...

Edible food coatings to control potassium sorbate diffusion from surface into food bulk : characterization of the diffusion process in polysaccharide based films

Creator:

Vojdani, Fakhrieh

Abstract:

Edible coatings controlling preservative migration from surface to food bulk could inhibit surface microbial growth which is often the main cause of spoilage for many food products. In this project we focused our attention upon methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and chitosan as the structural component for such edible films. These films...
