Abstract:
Due to importance of improving the properties of edible films in order to preserve food products and reduce environmental problems and wastes, in this paper, the effect of adding pickering emulsion prepared by zein and quince seed gum (wall material) and flaxseed oil (core material) to gelatin-based edible films was investigated.ٍ After preparing the dispersion made by zein and quince seed gum, the 20% emulsion of flaxseed oil was prepared by ultrasound technology. There were three types of film, the control (single-layer gelatin), composite (mixture of emulsion and gelatin) and three-layer film (gelatin+emulsion+gelatin). Each layer of the film need to be dried and then the next layer wad added to have the three-layer film. In general, it was observed that the composite films had the most flexibility, although their tensile strength was the approximately equal of control film. Moreover, the control and three-layer film had the smooth surface with no crack.
