Abstract
Highlights: [•] Paper/caseinate and paper/caseinate/chitosan films were developed. [•] Chitosan layer on dry caseinate-coated paper provided the best functional properties. [•] Chitosan significantly increased the elongation at break of coated paper. [•] Caseinate/chitosan bilayer systems seemed to be appropriate paper coating materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
