Article Abstract
The aim of this work was to characterize the starch obtained from ulluco (US) and evaluate its use in edible films prepared using different US concentrations (2.0, 2.5, and 3.0%) at low temperatures (simulating the storage conditions of different foods). US exhibited a high amylose content (35.3%), low stability against thermal degradation, and a B-type crystalline structure. In regards to the edible films prepared from US, good barrier properties related to the semicrystalline region were obtained. In addition, good mechanical properties, opacity and stability against thermal degradation were obtained. The extraction and use of US in the preparation of edible films could be an alternative method for adding value to this crop. Furthermore, the films appear as a potential material for food packaging.

Basil seed gum (BSG) is a natural, biodegradable hydrocolloid derived from basil seeds with promising applications in food packaging. Due to its biocompatibility, film-forming capacity, and favorable mechanical and barrier properties, BSG is an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic packaging. This review highlights the development and functional properties of BSG-based films and coatings, especially for preserving perishable foods like seafood, meat, poultry, fruits, and fried products.

Smart packaging is revolutionizing the food industry by extending shelf life and enhancing quality, thus ensuring food safety and sustainability. This study presents innovative multilayer flexible packaging films to tackle the environmental challenges of single-use plastics and nonrecyclable metalized multilayer films. The fabricated films comprise three layers made up of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(vinyl alcohol)/natural rubber latex, and PLA/Sepiolite clay from inner to outer, respectively, where the active middle layer provides oxygen-scavenging activity.
