6% 0.098 ± 0.002D 30.48 ± 0.2H 3.59 ± 0.18A
pH 11 Control Control 0.92 ± 0.002E 64.22 ± 0.08A 0.96 ± 0.08F
GTE 2% 0.100 ± 0.002C 42.65 ± 0.09C 3.11 ± 0.15C
4% 0.103 ± 0.002B 39.66 ± 0.14D 2.38 ± 0.16D
6% 0.107 ± 0.002A 36.27 ± 0.17F 1.96 ± 0.18E

Data are presented as means ± SD for thickness, FS, and transparency (n = 6). Different letters in the same column indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) among the film samples with different concentrations of GTE at different pH levels.
