Edible films were prepared using sodium caseinate (6–8 g/100 g) and stearic acid (0–2 g/100 g). Effects of the ratio of stearic acid and sodium caseinate to water on the water vapor permeability (WVP) and mechanical properties of the prepared films were evaluated. Film-forming emulsions were also tested for rheological properties and surface tension. Changes in the ratios of sodium caseinate and stearic acid to water had significant effects on WVP (p < 0.05) and surface tension (p < 0.01). Higher values of consistency coefficient and elastic modulus were obtained in the presence of higher stearic acid. In addition, increase in stearic acid content increased the rate of water loss and gain of elastic modulus at the early stage of drying and resulted in production of less flexible film. The resultant edible film prepared with 6 g/100 g sodium caseinate and 2 g/100 g stearic acid showed the lowest WVP of 1.368 (g mm/m2 h kPa).
► Factorial design was employed to quantify physico-mechanical properties of edible films.
► Properties of film forming emulsions and edible films were affected by ratio of components.
► The lipid incorporation into the hydrophilic films modified the barrier properties.
► The presence of sodium caseinate was an essential factor in formation of edible films.
► Stearic acid had a dominant role in controlling mechanical properties of edible film.
