Abstract

The feasibility of sweet cherry gum as a bio-based film-forming material and effect of hydrogen peroxide as a chemical modifier investigated. The influence of film compositions (gum, glycerol) and hydrogen peroxide on the physical properties of films, including solubility in water, permeability to water vapor (WVP), mechanical properties, and transparency, thermal and microstructural properties evaluated. The results showed that WVP and thickness increased by gum and glycerol concentration, but significantly decreased by hydrogen peroxide. As expected, elongation-at-break and solubility, increased at higher concentration of glycerol but the tensile strength decreased at the same condition. The film transparency was influenced by the dry weight content and was improved by higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. The partial degradation of polymer chain by hydrogen peroxide was observed by FTIR analysis.
