Abstract

Substantial waste is generated from fish processing industries causing pollution and health hazard. Hence, synthesizing biodegradable film from myofibrillar protein dispersion of fish waste was attempted which may serve as “Wealth from Waste”- an eco-friendly initiative. Film dispersions were gamma-irradiated at a dose of 10 (D10) and 25 kGy (D25) before casting and their physical properties were tested where film from non-irradiated dispersion served as control. The results showed control (D0) had minimum tensile strength and maximum elongation at break whereas D10 and D25 had comparable values. Opacity with yellowness increased proportionally with dose. Water solubility was found to be similar for D0 and D25 whereas D10 had the lowest value. Water vapour permeability was highest in D25 as compared to D0 and D10 and free sulfhydryl content was lowest in D10 as compared to D0 and D25. Corroborating all data, D10 was found to be better as compared to D0 and D25.
