Inducing covalent cross-links in soy protein film through ferulic acid incorporation and UV irradiation and its effect on film properties
Puntos clave
This research aims to explore how ferulic acid and UV-C curing influence the characteristics of soy protein films.
Incorporation of ferulic acid into soy protein isolate films
Exposure of films to UV-C light for curing
Assessment of physical and mechanical properties of resulting films
Ferulic acid significantly enhanced the strength and flexibility of soy protein films.
UV irradiation improved the stability and barrier properties of the films.
Covalent cross-linking led to a more durable film structure.
Resumen
This study aimed to investigate the impact of ferulic acid (FA) and UV-C curing on the properties of soy protein isolate (SPI) films. The films were fabricated from SPI with...
