Enzyme-assisted aqueous extraction processing (EAEP) is an alternative method to extract oil which is safer and more environmental-friendly. EAEP results in four fractions: free oil, oil-in-water emulsion, liquid fraction (skim), and residual fraction. The surplus amounts of residual are the limitation of EAEP. The residue contains a large amount of fiber. EAEP residue fiber based edible films containing citric acid and glycerol was prepared. In the single-factor experiment, the effect of citric acid concentration, glycerol concentration, crosslink time on the tensile strength, elongation at break, water vapor permeability of EAEP residue fiber based edible films was studied. In order to optimize the process parameters and investigate the interrelationship between the three factors and water vapor permeability, response surface methodology was employed. Results indicated that the water vapor permeability was influenced the most by glycerol concentration, crosslink time and the least by citric acid concentration. The optimum conditions were as follows: citric acid concentration of 20%, glycerol concentration of 36% and the crosslink time of 5min. Under the optimum conditions, the water vapor permeability of the EAEP residue based edible film was 1.81g·m/(h·Pa·m2). The scanning electron microscopy showed that the edible film prepared under the optimum process conditions had a relatively smooth surface. The infrared spectrum analysis indicated that crosslink may have taken place between citric acid and the fiber of EAEP residue. Glycerol may affect the reaction between citric acid and the fiber. The results can provide a reference for the production of EAEP residue based edible film.
