Abstract
The study aimed to improve the properties of SA-CMC film by gluten (G) blends and bioactive compounds from onion waste extracts (OWEs) peel (OPE) and stalk (OSE). The applicability of film on the quality of peeled shallot onion during storage was also examined. Water barrier (0.62 g/msPa × 10-14) and tensile strength (11.50 MPa) of G/SA-CMC film improved more than SA-CMC film (1.55 g/msPa × 10-13 and 7.05 MPa). OPE and OSE increase the total phenolic content (43.86 and 38.35 mgGAE/g) and radical scavenging activity (88.74 and 68.30 %) of G/SA-CMC film than control (20.33 mgGAE/g and 39.20 %). Microbial load (logCFU/g) in terms of total bacterial count, yeast and mold count of shallot onion packed in OPE (5.34 and 5.21) and OSE (4.26 and 4.21) film was reduced than control (6.03 and 4.68). Thus, the G/SA-CMC/OWEs film had improved properties than SA-CMC film and can be used to store peeled onion at 4℃ for 21 days.
