This research aims to develop packaging films using wild apricot kernel protein from Ladakh and analyze their properties.
Used de-oiled wild apricot kernel protein isolate to create films.
Evaluated the mechanical, moisture interaction, and optical properties of the films with varying protein and plasticizer levels.
Conducted tests to determine film performance under different conditions.
The films demonstrated improved mechanical properties with optimal levels of protein and plasticizer.
Moisture interaction measurements indicated favorable stability, enhancing the films' usability for packaging.
Optical properties showed promising transparency suitable for consumer packaging applications.
Abstract
In the present study, an attempt has been made to utilize the de-oiled wild apricot kernels of the Ladakh region of India to produce packaging films. Apricot kernel protein isolate...
