Abstract

Effect of direct addition of $CaCl_2$ into sodium alginate film-making solution and immersion of alginate films into $CaCl_2$ solutions on tensile strength (TS), percentage elongation at break (E), water vapor permeability (WVP), and water solubility (WS) of the films were investigated. TS of alginate films prepared by both methods increased. E of $CaCl_2-added$ films did not change significantly (P>0.05), whereas that of $CaCl_2-immersion$ films decreased significantly (p<0.05). WVP of films prepared by both methods decreased significantly, but the effect was more significant in the $CaCl_2-immersion$ films. Water resistance was not changed in the $CaCl_2-added$ films, whreras increased significantly in $CaCl_2-immersion$ films (p<0.05). Properties of alginate films depend on the concentration of $CaCl_2$ treatments in both methods, and they also depend on treatment time in the immersion method.

필름용액에 $CaCl_2$를 직접 첨가하여 제조한 알긴산 필름과 알긴산 필름을 $CaCl_2$용액에 침지시켜 제조한 알긴산 필름을 대조구용 알긴산 필름과 함께 제조하여 각 필름의 인장강도, 연신율, 투습도 및 수분용해도 등을 측정하여 제조방법에 따른 알긴산 필름의 특성에 미치는 $CaCl_2$의 처리효과를 조사하였다. $CaCl_2$의 처리방법에 따라 필름의 특성은 크게 영향을 받았다. 이는 칼슘이온과 알긴산의 카르복실기 사이의 가교결합에 기인하는데, $CaCl_2$를 직접 첨가한 알긴산 필름의 인장강도는 사용농도에 따라 $1.14{\sim}1.58$배 증가한 반면 연신율은 $1.35{\sim}1.67$배 감소하였으며, 투습도는 $1.15{\sim}1.35$배 감소하였다. $CaCl_2$용액에 침지시킨 필름은 그 효과는 보다 현저하였는데, 인장강도는 사용용액의 농도에 따라 $2.49{\sim}3.25$배 증가하였고, 연신율은 $3.90{\sim}12.23$배 감소하였으며, 투습도는 $1.39{\sim}2.41$배 감소하였으며, 수분에 대한 저항성이 크게 증가하였다.
