Characterisation of eumelanin-chitosan films [PDF]
Acta Horticulturae, 2018 Food packaging films based on chitosan (1%, w/v) were developed by optimising chitosan thin films with different concentrations of eumelanin 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4% respectively. The properties of eumelanin-chitosan (EU-Ch) films, including colour, water contact angle, mechanical properties, degradation ratio, moisture content (MC), and total ...
