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.

Farklı Oranlarda Anason Tohumu Yağı Katkılı Kitosan Temelli Filmlerin Özelliklerinin Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışma ile farklı miktarlarda Pimpinella
anisum tohumu yağı katkılı kitosan temelli yenilebilir filmlerin üretimi
yapılmıştır. Kitosan-anason tohumu yağı (CAO) katkılı kompozit filmler (CS, CAO-0.5, CAO-1 ve
CAO-2) FT-IR ve DSC ile karakterize
edilmiştir ve mekanik, optik geçirgenlik, hidrofobiklik ve anti-oksidan
özellikleri araştırılmıştır. Filmlerin anason tohumu yağı miktarı arttıkça,
gerilme mukavemeti ve Young modülünde düşüş gözlenmiştir. UV-Görünür bölgede
kitosan-anason tohumu yağ kompozit filmlerin optik geçirgenliği, kitosan
kontrol filme göre daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Anason tohumu yağının,
kitosan filmlere katılması, filmlerin antioksidan aktivitesini arttırmıştır.
Sonuçlar göz önüne alındığında, kitosan-anason tohumu yağı katkılı kompozit
filmlerin, gıda ambalaj malzemesi olarak kullanılabilir bir malzeme olduğunu
göstermektedir.
