Abstract
Films prepared with casein and its fractions were characterized by means of texture, SEM and microbiological analyses. Mechanical characterization showed that these films could have potential applications in packaging. Additionally, these materials proved to be a suitable physical barrier against microbiological contamination, which could be profited as protecting material for foods.
