Effect of glycerol and sorbitol on the mechanical and barrier properties of films based on pea protein isolate produced by high‐moisture extrusion processing

Disposable food packaging accounts for a large proportion of the plastic waste in the environment. Bio‐based and biodegradable alternatives could help to reduce plastic pollution but must perform similarly to current synthetic materials. Here, we investigated the effect of two plasticizers (glycerol and sorbitol) on the mechanical and barrier properties of films composed of extruded pea protein isolate. We evaluated physical properties such as...
