Optical properties 20 of film-forming solution did not vary with increased LAE content. However, pH 21 and surface tension increased. The incorporation of LAE into the formulation 22 increased moisture and solubility of the films. In addition, the presence of LAE 23 affected mechanical properties, making films stronger and more flexible; it had 24 no effect on water vapor permeability. Finally, films with LAE significantly 25 increased antimicrobial properties against Listeria innocua, Shewanella 26 putrefaciens and Pseudomonas fluorescens, but not against Aeromonas 27 hydrophila. These antimicrobial films could be a used as an alternative 28 technology for of fresh products.23 p.application/pdfeng© 2019 Institute of Food Science and TechnologyFish gelatin filmsEthyl lauroyl arginatePhysical, chemical and antimicrobial propertiesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
