  • Flours are economical and easily to get for films elaboration.

  • Glycerol concentration has influence in the mechanical and barrier properties of flour films.

  • High concentration of montmorillonite and low concentration of glycerol produced rigid films with better barrier properties.

  • Rotatable central composite design gave the combinations of glycerol and montmorillonite to get flour films with improved mechanical and barrier properties.
