Abstract
⺠We used carboxymethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate to reinforce a protein matrix. ⺠We prepare films with low cellulose derivative (CD) amounts by suspension casting. ⺠Addition of CD reduced the equilibrium moisture content and elongation at break. ⺠Film opacity, tensile modulus and strength increased with CD concentration. ⺠Performance depended on CD water-solubility, rigidity and dispersion quality.
