Influence of Marine Yeast on Antifungal and Physicochemical Properties of Chitosan-Based Films.

Chitosan-based film with and without antagonistic yeast was prepared and its effect against was evaluated. The biocompatibility of yeast cells in the developed films was assessed in terms of population dynamics. Furthermore, the impact on physicochemical properties of the prepared films with and without yeast cells incorporated were evaluated in terms of thickness, mechanical properties, color and opacity.
