The degradation of cellulose membrane

and the application of cellulose membrane in fresh vegetables are mainly investigated through studying its permeability

moisture permeability

and preservation. The results show that: 1 ) Different microbial has different degradation rate to cellulose membranes; 2 ) Cellulose packaging film’s degradation performance is the best that it can be depredated fully after three days by inoculating Penicillium; 3 ) Cellulose packaging film’s permeability is better than plastic film

resulting in the poor effects of green color and anti- browning when preserving fresh vegetables; 4 ) Cellulose membrane has so strong water vapor permeability that it’s water retention is worse than the plastic packaging film.
