Physicochemical characterization of kappa-carrageenan (Euchema cottoni) based films incorporated with various plant oils

This study investigated the effects of different types of plant oil (olive oil, corn oil, soybean oil and sunflower oil) on the physical and mechanical properties of kappa-carrageenan films from Euchema cottoni species. The incorporation of plant oils increased the film thickness significantly (P &l...
