Considering environmental pollution caused by the non-biodegradable polymers used in food packaging, developing and enhancing the properties of biodegradable films seem to be necessary. For this aim, in the present study, kefiran-whey protein isolate bionanocomposite films were prepared and the impact of different concentrations (1, 3 and 5% w/w) of Al2O3 (alumina) nanoparticles on their physical, morphological, thermal and mechanical properties was studied. Based on the obtained results, an increase in the nanoparticles content led to a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in the water vapor permeability, moisture absorption, moisture content, and water solubility. Scanning electron microscope images showed a homogeneous structure, confirming the good dispersion of alumina nanoparticles with smooth surface up to concentration of 3%. In addition, both thermal stability and mechanical properties of the films were improved by the increased concentrations of alumina. The results of X-ray diffraction indicated that the intensity of the crystalline peaks of film increased with the addition of Al2O3 to kefiran-whey protein isolate matrix. By considering all results, the concentration of 3% was proposed as the appropriate concentration of Al2O3 for the nano-reinforcement of kefiran-whey protein isolate bionanocomposites.
