Studying Methylcellulose-Base Edible Films Properties by XRD, EDXRF and FTIR
The physicochemical of methylcellulose (MC) base edible films were investigated in this work. The characterization of MC used X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopy for investigated the crystalline, the composition element, and the intermolecular interaction, respectively. It was found that, the XRD pattern indicated MC has amorphous structure. The chemical composition by XRF reported that Silver (Ag) have been detect and the hydrogen bonding formation between MC investigated with FTIR spectra, which interpreted in terms of the symmetry distortion of hydroxyl stretch. Another that, the mechanical properties tensile strength (TS) elastic modulus (EM) and elongation (E) values were investigated.
