Biodegradable Zein-Based Blend Films: Structural, Mechanical and Barrier Properties

The effect of adding a hydrocolloid on the structural, mechanical and barrier properties of zein-based blend films is evaluated. Zein-oleic acid blend film with added xanthan gum (Z-OA-XG) showed higher water solubility (13.09 %) and opacity (8.49 AU/mm) than zein-oleic acid (Z-OA) fi lm (10.80 % an...
