Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding various concentrations of castor oil (2% and 4% v/v) on the properties of edible films based on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). Moisture content, water solubility, tensile strength, elongation at break, elastic modulus, water vapor permeability, optical and thermal properties and antioxidant activity of the films were examined. The results demonstrated that the presence of castor oil led to a decrease in moisture content, water solubility and mechanical strength of the films.
