Overview

Randomized trial developed antioxidant edible films from passion fruit seed waste, indicating sustainable packaging potential.

Key Points

  • The aim is to create sustainable edible films from passion fruit seed waste to enhance packaging properties.
  • Utilized phenolic-rich extract from yellow passion fruit seeds incorporated in two matrices: BG/CMC and BG/PEC.
  • Conducted ultrasound-assisted extraction and characterized films based on composition and properties.
  • Tested films for antioxidant activity, mechanical properties, and thermal stability.
  • BG/CMC films had the highest antioxidant activity of 19.42 μmol TE/g.
  • BG/PEC exhibited optimal mechanical properties with tensile strength of 3.64 MPa and elongation at break of 20.84%.
  • Structural analyses confirmed successful extract incorporation and improved thermal stability, with a mass loss near 30% at any concentration.
