a WG demonstrates the WPI-gelatin film sample containing 5 % (w/v) WPI and 2% (w/v) of gelatin.
b demonstrates WG films added by 5 (%w/w WPI) of nanoclay
c, d and e demonstrate WGN5 films added by 7, 14 and 21 (%w/v) of orange peel extract respectively.
f demonstrates WGN5-21 films added by 0.75 (%w/v) of Sodium triphosphate.
