Pomegranate peel pectin films as affected by montmorillonite
Objective
Developing films from pectin
extracted from pomegranate peels
Evaluating the influence of montmorillonite (MMT) on the film tensile and barrier properties
Methodology
Extraction and characterization of pectin
Preparation of films
Characterization of films
Results and discussion
Physical properties of pectin films
Elongation
Water vapor permeability
Elastic modulus
Insoluble matter
Tensile strength
SEM images of pectin films
FTIR spectra
Conclusions
Montmorillonite (MMT) improves tensile strength and elastic modulus
Water vapor permeability was decreased by increasing MMT
Pomegranate peels can be used as a source of pectins
The films presented poor elongation
Pectin films are used for food packaging.
