Ferulic Acid and its Oxide Enhance Performance of Soy Protein-lsolate/Chitosan Composite Films

摘要

The effect of FA and OFA on performances of the soybean protein-isolate/chitosan composite films was evaluated. The FA and OFA enhanced the tensile strength and thermal stability of the composite films significantly, while they reduced the water vapor permeability to 60.3% and 72.8% of the control respectively. Moreover, the OFA was more effective to enhance the tensile strength of the composite films than the FA.
