Implication

Experimental analysis demonstrates enhanced elongation and barrier attributes in biopolymer composite films, highlighting their viability for sustainable food packaging.

Key Points

Pectin and kappa-carrageenan composite films incorporate peppermint essential oil to produce uniform, flexible matrices with enhanced functional preservation.
Elongation at break increased from 12.73 ± 0.74 to 25.05 ± 1.33 % upon oil incorporation, while film thickness rose from 0.045 to 0.060 mm.
Assessment of mechanical, barrier, and optical properties indicates that these edible films may serve as biodegradable alternatives for food preservation.
