Physical properties of kafirin films Enviropak final meeting Mats Stading Katarina Nilsson Susanna Edrud Siw Kidman Annika Altskär Paola Olofsson Maria Petersson SIK – The Swedish Institute for Food and Biotechnology Structure and Material Design Göteborg, Sweden
2
Samples Kafirin from CSIR large batch Defatted zein from Sigma Cast and thermoplastic films (from Sammy) Plasticizer/protein: 0, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4
3
Characterization Fracture strength (E, b, b ) Thermomechanical properties, DMA (G*, T g ) Barrier properties (WVP, OP) Moisture content Microstructure (LM, CLSM, TEM)
4
Plasticizers tested Plasticizer/protein Plasticizer 0.010.050.100.200.300.40 Glycerol PEG PPG Lactic acid (LA) Gly/PEG (1:3, 1:1, 3:1) Gly/PPG (1:3, 1:1, 3:1) Gly/PEG/LA (1:1:1) Gly/PPG/LA (1:1:1) Acetyl. monoglyceride EPZ Acetyl. monoglyceride Acetem Castor-oil derivate Diethanolamine Tyrosine Tryptophane Oleic acid Palmitic acid
5
Stress at break Ethanol Plasticizer/kafirin Acetic acid b [MPa]
6
Strain at break Ethanol Plasticizer/kafirin Acetic acid b [MPa]
7
Moisture content Ethanol Plasticizer/kafirin Acetic acid MC [% w/w]
8
Glass transition temperature of kafirin and zein films Thermoplastic zein films from IMBC PEG LA Kafirin Zein Glycerol/PEG/la 1:1:1
9
Water Vapour Permeability Comparison with other materials Amylose Amylopectin glycerol Plasticizer/kafirin WVP [g mm/m²h kPa] 0.40.480.83 Whey protein glycerol sorbitol EVOH LDPE
10
Oxygen Permeability Plasticizer/kafirin OP [cm³ m/m² d kPa] UP kafirin preparation Amylose Amylopectin glycerol 0.4 0.30.83 Whey protein glycerol sorbitol LDPE 1900 EVOH
11
Ethylene Permeability
12
Thermoplastic zein films 25% PEG400, 50rpm, 60°C, 600s Fine structures of zein films Micropores Processing temperatures (60°C, 70°C, 80°C) do not seem to change the microstructure of the thermoplastic films 1m1m1m1m 1m1m1m1m 0.1 m
13
60°C Observations Bigger micropores at higher processing temperature Less striated structure at higher processing temperature more even melting No microstructural difference between lauric acid and PEG plasticization Thermoplastic kafirin films 80°C 20 m 1m1m1m1m 1m1m1m1m
