In the literature, the produced β-chitin samples are in powder or flake forms but there is no natural β-chitin
based film. Also, the commercially available transdermal patches are produced from synthetic polymers. In this
regard,we produced natural β-chitin-protein complex (CPC) film fromthewaste shells of Ensis spp. The obtained
natural filmwas characterized by FTIR, TGA and SEM. Additionally, swelling, thickness, contact angle and antioxidant
tests were done to learn more about the films. After production and characterization of the film, capsaicin,
which is commonly used for pain reliefwas loaded into the film. The loading capacitywas recorded as 5.79%. The
kineticmodelswere studied in three different pH, then the resultswere fittedwith Higuchimodelwith high correlation
at pH 7.4. After considering all the obtained results, the capsaicin loaded CPC film may be an alternative
candidate for transdermal patch instead of the synthetic ones.
