Abstract Four series of composite films were prepared via solution casting using collagen hydrolysate (CH) derived from leather trimming waste with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan (CS) at a 50PVA/50CS ratio, and the optimal water barrier formulation (30PVA/30CS/40CH) was selected. Subsequently, five films based on the 30PVA/30CS/40CH formulation were prepared with varying lemon essential oil…

Abstract Edible films based on Allium purees, such as onion ( Allium cepa L.) and garlic ( Allium sativum L.), are a promising alternative for food packaging due to their high levels of polysaccharides, bioactive compounds, and intrinsic flavor, which enhance the sensory and functional properties of packaged foods. However, large-scale production is essential for these packaging materials to reac…

In this study, enzyme assistance was combined with conventional alkaline extraction and ultrasound to extract proteins from basil seeds, and the resulting protein isolates were characterized. For the enzymatic pretreatment, pH (3.0–5.0), temperature (35–55 °C), enzyme dosage (0.5–5.0 FBGU/g seed), and processing time (1–5 h) were defined as independent variables, and the conditions yielding the h…
