U.S. Develops Edible Transparent Film

The American Bureau of Agricultural Research combined chitosan extracted from shellfish with lauric acid with 12 carbon atoms to produce an edible film. This transparent film can be used for packaging of peeled or sliced ​​fruits, with a thickness of 0.2-0.3mm, which not only can achieve the purpose of preservation, but also is not easily perceived by consumers and can be eaten together with fruits.
