Characterization of Chitosan-Based Films with Different Aniseed Oil Content
Abstract
This paper reports the findings of a study describing the production of chitosan-based edible films
incorporated with different amount of Pimpinella
anisum seed oil. The chitosan-aniseed oil (CAO) composite films (CS,
CAO-0.5, CAO-1, and CAO-2) were
characterized with FT-IR and DSC and their mechanical, optical transmittance,
hydrophobicity and anti-oxidative
properties were also investigated. With the increasing concentration of aniseed
oil in the films, a continuous decrease was observed in tensile strength and
Young’s modulus. Optical transmittance of chitosan-aniseed oil composite films
in the UV-Visible region was lower than that of chitosan control film
(without aniseed oil). Incorporation of aniseed oil into chitosan films
enhanced antioxidant activity of films. The results suggested that
chitosan-aniseed oil composite films can be used as a food packaging material.
