ANTIMICROBIAL, BARRIER, AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF BIOCOMPOSITES PREPARED FROM CARROT POMACE AND WHEAT GLUTEN WITH VARIED EUGENOL CONTENT

Resumen

The dataset encompasses comprehensive raw data pertaining to the antimicrobial, barrier, and mechanical properties of films. These films were meticulously crafted by blending carrot pomace with wheat gluten and polyglycerol-3 plasticizer in a mortar with pestle. The formulations were then enriched with different concentrations (0%, 3%, and 5%) of eugenol, a naturally occurring antimicrobial compound derived from essential oils. The final step involved the mixtures compression molding in a hot press at 90 °C for 5 minutes under 5 tons of pressure, resulting in the creation of the films for which detailed data is presented in this dataset.
