Abstract
The present invention describes methods of treating cellulosic materials with a composition comprising hemicellulose and/or lignin and sucrose fatty acid esters to modify barrier functions of such materials. The methods as disclosed use hemicellulose or lignin combined with saccharide fatty acid esters to form films on cellulosic materials, including that the disclosure provides products made by such methods. The materials thus treated exhibit more effective barrier functions, and mechanical properties, and may be used in any application where such features are desired.
