Abstract

The gelatin-chitosan composite films modified by different polyol including glycerol, sorbitol and polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) were prepared using casting molding. The effects of polyol on the moisture sorption, water vapor permeability, tensile properties and transparency of the gelatin-chitosan composite films were investigated. The sorption isothermal data of the films were fitted by Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer (GAB) model. The cross-sectional morphology of the composite films was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated that the monolayer sorption value and tensile strength of the film decreased by the introduction of polyol, while the water vapor permeability and elongation at break increased. Glycerol and sorbitol exerted negligible effect on the transparency of the films. However, the transparency of the films plasticized with PEG 400 decreased with the ratio of PEG 400 increasing. Glycerol was a more effective plasticizer for gelatin-chitosan composite films.
