Antimicrobial, water vapour permeability, mechanical and thermal properties of casein based Zataraia multiflora Boiss. Extract containing film

► Hydrophobic sodium caseinate film was prepared by adding stearic and oleic acids. ► Antimicrobial film was made using the essential oil of Zataraia multiflora Boiss. ► Structural antimicrobial, mechanical and thermal properties of films were studied. ► Water vapour permeability decreased by the addition of lipid compounds to film.
