Abstract
Food packaging is importance for manufacturer in order to accomplish consumers demand for fresh, convenient and flavorful food demands [1]. The biodegrade film with satisfying UV barrier properties is rarely seen and used by the consumer. The objective of this study ere to determine the effect if the temperature used for solvent casting and clove essential oil (CLO) concentration on the characteristic and biodegradability of the film using Zein and CLO. The film was prepared using solvent casting at several temperature 20℃, 35℃ and 90℃. UV-vis and FTIR were used to characterize the effect of temperature and concentration of CLO on film packaging. Degradation rate measurement was carried out using degradation test at room temperature, 25℃. It was found that increasing of CLO increased the UV-barrier properties and also lowering the degradation rate.
