Abstract: | Films were made from peanut protein concentrate solution of pH 6.0, 7.5 or 9.0, and dried at 70, 80 or 90°C. Both total solubility and protein solubility of film decreased with increasing temperature but increased with increasing pH. Film color was darker and more yellow when pH increased. Tensile strength (TS) and elongation (E) increased but water vapor permeability (WVP) and oxygen permeability (OP) decreased as temperature increased. At pH 9 and 90°C, film had the lowest WVP and OP, and the highest TS. |
