Popis: Water sorption isotherms of corn zein-based films are typical sigmodial curves. The presence of plasticizers greatly increase film water sorption at intermediate and high water activities. The presence of a plasticizer increases water vapor permeabilities of zein films. The extent of such effect depends on the plasticizer type and concentration used for film formation.
