The edible films were made using<br />carrageenan concentrations 3.5 and 4.5%, beeswax concentrations 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8% and homogenization<br />rates of 2,000 and 3,000 rpm. Physical properties of the edible film were analyzed, i.e: thickness, tensile<br />strength, elongation, water vapor transmission rate and percent of solubility. The result, shows that the<br />composite concentration ratio of carrageenan and beeswax and homogenization rate influence the physical<br />characteristics of edible film. Increased concentrations of composite and homogenization rates have highly<br />significant effect (p&lt;0.01) on decreased of water vapor transmission rate and increased of elongation and<br />percent of solubility, however have no significant effect (p&gt;0.05) on increased of thickness and tensile<br />strength. The best treatment was obtained from composite concentration ratio of carrageenan 4,5% and<br />beeswax 0.8% with homogenization rate 3,000 rpm, with the average value of thickness 0.1534 mm, tensile<br />strength 22.44 N/mm2, elongation 22.5%, water vapor transmission rate 25.3411 g/m2/hr and percent of<br /&gt;solubility 88%.}, number={3}, journal={Jurnal Pengolahan Hasil Perikanan Indonesia}, author={Togas, Christmas and Berhimpon, Siegfried and MontolaluRoike Iwan and DienHenny Adeleida and Mentang, Feny}, year={2018}, month={Jan.}, pages={468-477} }
