Abstract
Alginate is a natural polymer found in seaweeds. It can be made as a colorless thin film with resistant to fungal growth. The physical properties of alginate film are studied to evaluate the possible application of using it as a protecting shield for food products and/or chemical reagents to prolong their shelf-lives. These studies include solubility, flammability, oil permeability, optical transmittance, and surface characteristics of the four recipes of alginate with different water and glycerol content.
