The effects of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) on oxygen and water vapour permeability and mechanical properties of gluten-containing glycerol (10 and 20 wt% gluten) at different relative humidity (RH= 32, 52 and 75%) were studied.Water vapour permeability (WVP) has been measured using a vial coated by a film. Oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of a film was determined from measurement of peroxide value for a definite amount of oil in a vial and coated by a film. Mechanical properties were measured

Results showed that WVP of all films increased with the increase of relative humidity (P<0.05).The amounts of water vapor permeability for the gluten-HPC-glycerol film increased with increasing glycerol concentration (P<0.05). Oxygen permeability for gluten-glycerol (containing 20 wt% glycerol) and gluten-HPC-glycerol films (containing 10 wt% of glycerol) were smaller than other films, in relative humidity of 32% and 52% (P<0.05). Tensile strength of the films increased with an increase in HPC, whereas their amounts decreased with an increase in glycerol (P<0.05). The percentage of elongation for the films increased with an increase in glycerol.
