Abstract

Water-vapor transmission rate and water-vapor permeability of carrageenan-based edible film with three different thicknesses of 0.05, 0.08 and 0.11 mm were measured to investigate the potential applicability of the films to powder foods at five different temperatures (20, 25, 30. 35 and $4^{\circ}C$) and three different relative humidities (50. 70 and 90% RH). Water-vapor transmission rate of the carrageenan-based film was gound to be 2.3 times higher than that of polyethylene (PE) film and water-vapor permeability of the film was 45-230 times higher than that of PE film. Water-ydpor permeability of the film seemed to increase linearly with the film thicknees like other hydrophilic edible films. Water-vapor transmission rate were found to be dependent on the temperature. Activation energies of the water-vapor transmission rate of the film were found to be between 7.898 and 12.8702 kj/mol depending on the film thickness. The water-vapor transmission rate of the film showed the typical kinetic compensation effect between activation energies and preexponential factors. which was proved by the linear increase in the value of logarithms of preecponential factor.

카라기난을 사용하여 제조한 생분해성 필름의 분말식품에 대한 응용성을 조사하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 3종의 두께(0.05, 0.08, 0.11 mm)로 제작된 카라기난 필름을 사용하여 5가지의 온도(20, 25, 30, 35, $4^{\circ}C$)와 3가지의 상대습도(50, 70, 90%RH) 조건에서 수증기투과율을 측정하여 카라기난 필름의 투습 특성을 조사하였다. 카라기난 필름의 수증기투과율은 PE 필름보다 2.3배 정도 높았으며, 투습계수는 PE 필름보다 45-230배 정도 높아 수증기투과도가 높음을 알 수 있었다. 카라기난 필름의 투습계수는 다른 친수성의 가식성 필름과 마찬가지로 필름의 두께가 증가할수록 직선적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 카라기난 필름의 투습계수는 온도에 대한 의존성을 나타내지 않았으나, 수증기투과율은 온도에 대한 의존성을 나타냈다. 카라기난 필름의 수증기투과율의 활성화 에너지는 필름의 두께에 따라 7.898-12.872 kj/mol의 값을 보였다. 카라기난 필름의 수증기투과율은 활성화 에너지 값이 커짐에 따라 지수앞인자의 값도 증가하는 kinetic compensation 현상을 나타냈다.
