Pectin is advisable to be used for biodegradable film production. There are a lot of types of modified pectin, but its modification potential has not yet been exhausted. Materials and methods. Pectin, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA, E 1203), glycerol (E 422), oleic acid were used in this study. The vapor permeability of the film was determined according to BS EN 12086:1997. The physical and mechanical properties (strength and elongation) of the films were determined on the TIRAtest-2151 universal testing machine. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy was performed on a Nexus-475 Nicolet device.
