Abstract
Rice protein hydrolysates (RPH) are incapable of film formation by self-crosslinking due to low molecular mass. Hence, we used chitosan (CS) as a modifier and developed rice protein hydrolysates/chitosan (RPH/CS) edible composite films by means of ultrasound. Results showed that ultrasound treatment decreased the particle size and the viscosity of film-forming solutions. The value of elongation at break of composite films was increased by 125% at 400W compared with untreated film. The peroxide value of soybean oil was significantly reduced from 16.99±0.78meq/kg to 2.23±0.09meq/kg with the increase of ultrasonic power. Ultrasound treatment was efficient in keeping smooth on surface, and the films at ultrasound treatment of 200W had better compatibility. Moreover, hydrogen bonds and covalent interactions were probably the main forces between RPH and CS and contributed to film formation under ultrasound treatment, which supported by analyses of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. These results suggested that ultrasound was an effective method to improve the properties of edible composite films.
