WVTR

P(R1 - R2)
Where WVTR is water vapor transmission rate while P is
the saturation vapor pressure of water (Pa) at the test
temperature (25C), R1 and R2 are RH inside and outside
the cup, respectively and X is film thickness (m). In these
conditions, driving force [P (R1-R2)] is 1753.55 Pa. All
measurements were performed in triplicates [22].
Solubility in water: The percentage of the dry matter of
film which solubilized after a time immersion in the water
considered as solubility in water [23]. In this study the
water solubility was assessed based on method of Ojagh
et al. [24] with some modifications. Pieces of film (13
cm) prepared of each film and dried at 110C to reach
constant weigh, after then dried film weighed to the
nearest 0.0001 g. Pieces immersed in 50 mL of distilled
water for 6 h at 25C under constant agitation. Whatman
filter paper NO 3 (that reached a dry constant weight
before) was used to separate unsolved pieces film from
the water. Filter papers and remained pieces on filter
papers were placed back at 110C to reach constant
weight. The equation 3 was used to calculate film water
solubility
(WS)
percentage.
WS
(%)=[(WoWf)/Wo]100 (3) Where Wo is the initial dry weight of
the film sample and Wf is dry weight of unsolved film.
Mechanical properties: The mechanical properties
including tensile strength (TS) and elongation at break
(ELB) of the film samples were evaluated according to
ASTM standard method D882 [25] by Testometric
Machine M350-10CT (Testometric Co., Ltd., Rochdale,
Lancs., England). Film strips (1.510 cm) were cut from
each of the samples that prior to testing were equilibrated
at 25C and 53% RH in desiccators containing Mg (NO3)2
saturated solutions for 48 h. Film strips were mounted

Statistical analysis: Each experiment repeated at least
three times. Descriptive analysis was used to express
mean and standard deviation, and Analysis of variance
(ANOVA) followed by the Duncans multiple range test
was used to determine any significant differences among
the treatments at a 95% confidence level. SPSS-16
statistical software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) was used.
Results
Film thickness: Film thickness varied from 0.034 to 0.09
mm (Table 1). The lowest thickness was achieved in film
prepared without EO, and by increasing of EO
concentration in the film structure, thickness was

Discussion
EO incorporated CMC film maintained their antioxidant
and antimicrobial activity. The physical structure in
combined films, showed some different properties when
compared with CMC film.
Using of EO in edible film structure increase the
thickness of combined film. This result was found by
others [20, 22]. When EO added in CMC film, solubility
in water was decreased. It is related to incorporation of
