Development and characterization of composite edible films based on sodium alginate and pectin

TL;DR: In this article, the physical properties including thickness, colour, water vapour sorption kinetics and isotherms of composite polysaccharide films were characterized by casting sodium alginate and low methoxy pectin at proportions of: 100−0, 75−25, 50−50, 25−75, and 0−100%.

Edible Films and Coatings from Whey Proteins: A Review on Formulation, and on Mechanical and Bioactive Properties

TL;DR: Viable edible films and coatings have been successfully produced from whey proteins; their ability to serve other functions, viz. carrier of antimicrobials, antioxidants, or other nutraceuticals, without significantly compromising the desirable primary barrier and mechanical properties as packaging films, will add value for eventual commercial applications.
