Mechanical, Optical, and Microbiological Characteristics of Biocomposite Edible Film Based on Canna Starch and Nanochitosane with the Addition of Fish Oil: A Review

Edible film is a packaging development for environmentally friendly food that composed of organic ingredients, so it safe consumption. Natural polymers make up edible films include polysaccharides, lipids, and proteins to replace synthetic materials. The characteristics good have properties like other plastic packaging, namely being easy shape, transparent, flexible, not easily damaged, cheap. Canna starch has the potential be used as building material because contains high levels amylose amylopectin, nanochitosan antimicrobial activity. addition fish oil solution correct deficiencies biocomposites, which can increase their hydrophobic tensile strength.
