Table 4.

Mechanical properties and water vapor permeability (WVP) of native and cross-linked starch and films loaded with fenugreek oil films.

Films	Tensile Strength (MPa)	Elongation at Break (%)	WVP (g.m/Pa.s.m²)
Native	3.44 ± 0.35 ^a	56.5 ± 2.35 ^b	6.98 ± 0.003 ^b
Cross-linked	5.85 ± 0.38 ^c	51.5 ± 2.12 ^a	6.01 ± 0.004 ^a
Native+oil	3.40 ± 0.42 ^a	70.2 ± 1.74 ^d	9.54 ± 0.002 ^d
Cross-linked +oil	4.59 ± 0.45 ^b	61.5 ± 1.25 ^c	8.76 ± 0.002 ^c

Means ± Standard Deviation (n = 3) of triplicate analysis. Means followed by the same letter within the column do not differ significantly (p < 0.05). Native (films prepared from native pearl millet starch), Native+oil (films prepared from native pearl millet starch loaded with fenugreek oil), Cross-linked (films prepared from cross-linked pearl millet starch), Cross linked+oil (films prepared from cross-linked pearl millet starch loaded with fenugreek oil).
