Conference Abstract Book

Evmorfia Athanasopoulou 7 th International Conference of Food Science and Technology Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM) SEM photographs of the surface of fibroin films plasticized with ethylene glycol at (A) 500× and (B) 1000× magnification. ✓ Predominantly smooth and soft surface ✓ Interconnected, fiber-like structures - semi-organized arrangement ✓ Servoli et al. (2005) observed fibroin films with irregularly distributed granules (~150–200 nm) among smoother regions. ✓ Byram et al. (2025) reported blended SF/gelatin/xanthan films with a uniformly smooth morphology and no surface phase separation, maintaining structural integrity
