Abstract :

Abstract[1] The present study was to determine the effect of adding different amounts of essential oils on the physical and appearance properties of bidegradable Kappa-carrageenan - gelatin - nanoclay was done. Kappa-carrageenan - gelatin - nanoclay nanocomposite was prepared with the addition of essential oils at three concentrations (1, 1.5, 2%) with the helping of stirring the solvent. water and moisture content and appearance properties including color, opacity and light transmission film was studied. the result showed that adding essential oil cause significant decrease in water and significant increase in moisture content. opacity of films increased with adding essential oil, so that the most opacity was related to nanocomposite including 2% essential oil. also the UV transmittance in the films with essential oil was increased.    * Corresponding Authors; Email: [e-mail]
