Abstract
This purpose of the present study was to develop and characterizing edible films composed of a starch matrix incorporated with varying percentages of rice bran oil (RBO). The incorporation of oil into starch films led to changes in their physical, morphological, optical, barrier, and mechanical properties. Glycerol, serving as the plasticizer, was added in a ratio of 0.1g/g of starch, while RBO and Tween 80 as an emulsifying agent were incorporated in a 2:1 (V/V) ratio, respectively. The addition of RBO, along with Tween 80 to the starch suspension improved the films' mechanical properties. Specifically, there was a significant increase (P < 0.05) observed in elongation at break (EAB) values, tensile strength, water solubility, optical properties, and moisture content of the films. The inclusion of RBO at a concentration of 1ml, reduced water vapor permeability (WVP), with values decreasing from 3.95×10gm-1s-1Pa-1 (WVP) to 3.47×10gm-1s-1Pa-1. The findings demonstrate that the synthesized films exhibited uniformity, homogeneity, and consistency. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis revealed morphological and functional characteristics of the films. The shifting of the peak intensity at 1640 cm-1 and 2844 cm-1 indicated the bond formation of RBO and starch polymer. Compact cross-section of the films, indicating strong compatibility, minimized film desiccation, and oil loss.
期刊介绍:
Biophysical studies of foods and agricultural products involve research at the interface of chemistry, biology, and engineering, as well as the new interdisciplinary areas of materials science and nanotechnology. Such studies include but are certainly not limited to research in the following areas: the structure of food molecules, biopolymers, and biomaterials on the molecular, microscopic, and mesoscopic scales; the molecular basis of structure generation and maintenance in specific foods, feeds, food processing operations, and agricultural products; the mechanisms of microbial growth, death and antimicrobial action; structure/function relationships in food and agricultural biopolymers; novel biophysical techniques (spectroscopic, microscopic, thermal, rheological, etc.) for structural and dynamical characterization of food and agricultural materials and products; the properties of amorphous biomaterials and their influence on chemical reaction rate, microbial growth, or sensory properties; and molecular mechanisms of taste and smell.
A hallmark of such research is a dependence on various methods of instrumental analysis that provide information on the molecular level, on various physical and chemical theories used to understand the interrelations among biological molecules, and an attempt to relate macroscopic chemical and physical properties and biological functions to the molecular structure and microscopic organization of the biological material.
