Biodegradable Film Is Enriched with Pomegranate Seed Oil and Microalgae for Preservation of Cajarana ().

This study aimed to develop and characterize biodegradable films made from pectin, pomegranate seed oil, and different microalgae (, sp., and ) and to evaluate their applicability as packaging by verifying their effect on the conservation and postharvest quality of cajarana (). The films proposed in this study were assessed for their physical, optical, and mechanical attributes, as well as the physicochemical characteristics of the fruits coated with the films after 14 days of storage at 10 ± 1 °C and relative humidity of 60 ± 5%.
