Effect of Chitosan Particles Loaded with Sodium Sulfite on the Structure and Properties of Gelatin Films

The study aimed to investigate the influence of chitosan particles loaded with sodium sulfate on the structure and properties of the gelatin films by using gelatin as the film-forming matrix and adding chitosan particles loaded with sodium sulfate to prepare composite gelatin films. The thickness, hydration properties, barrier properties, mechanical properties, optical properties, thermal stability and oxidation resistance of the gelatin films were measured, and its structure was characterized. The results showed that the addition of chitosan particles loaded with sodium sulfate significantly decreased the thickness (P
