An edible wheat gluten film was developed and effects of gluten concentration, ethanol concentration (ET) and pH of the film-forming solution on various film properties were evaluated using Response Surface Methodology. pH and ethanol concentration had strong interactive effects on film opacity, water solubility and water vapor permeability. A simultaneous variation of ethanol concentration and pH between 32.5% ET, pH 4 and 45% ET, pH 2 resulted in homogeneous and transparent film with relatively low water solubility. The lowest water vapor permeability would be expected with 20% ethanol concentration and pH 6. Mechanical properties were mainly affected by gluten concentration and pH. The most resistant film was obtained at high gluten concentration (12.5%) and pH 5.
