Abstract

Multi-layered films based on tilapia skin gelatin and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) were characterized, in comparison with the control gelatin and PLA films. Three different layers of multi-layered films (PLA/Gelatin/PLA) were visualized by scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis. The synergetic effect of lamination was evidenced by the increased mechanical properties (P < 0.05). Multi-layered films had higher water vapor barrier property and water resistance, compared to control gelatin film (P < 0.05). Gelatin films showed increased lightness (L*) with coincidental decrease in total color difference (∆E*) in the presence of PLA layers (P < 0.05). Transparency and solubility of films decreased with increasing ratio of PLA (P < 0.05). In addition, multi-layered films showed the enhanced hydrophobicity and thermal stability as evidenced by increased water contact angle and degradation temperature, respectively. Thus, PLA/Gelatin/PLA multi-layered film with improved water vapour barrier property could serve as bio-degradable packaging material for wider applications.
