The aim of this work is to characterize the microstructure of chitosan and alginate edible films by microscopy techniques and texture image analysis. Edible films were obtained by solution casting and solvent evaporation. The microscopy techniques used in this work were: light, environmental scanning electron and atomic force microscopy. Textural features and fractal dimension were extracted from the images. Entropy and fractal dimension were more useful to evaluate the complexity and roughness of films. The highest values of entropy and fractal dimension corresponded to alginate/chitosan, followed of alginate and chitosan films. An entropy/fractal dimension ratio, proposed here, was useful to characterize the degree of image complexity and roughness of edible films at different magnifications. It was possible to postulate that microscopy techniques combined with texture image analysis are efficient tools to quantitatively evaluate the surface morphology of edible films made of chitosan and alginate.
