Effect of beeswax on properties of soybean-protein-isolate/carboxymethyl cellulase composite materials

The effect of beeswax on properties of soy-protein-isolate/carboxymethyl cellulose composite materials was evaluated.The composite materials became more yellow when the beeswax addition was increased.Moreover, the transparency, water vapor permeability, elongation at break of composite materials decreased when the beeswax addition increased, while the oxygen permeability increased.
