Fish gelatin films added with different palm wax (PW) concentrations (0–60%) were analysed for the physical, mechanical, microstructural and water resistance properties. The results showed that the gelatin/palm wax (GP) films with higher PW concentration were thicker, opaquer, less stiff and more fl...
