Abstract:Active biodegradable packaging with Bixa orellana extract has potential for producing new products that combine natural renewable use and food conservation. B. orellana seeds were collected and their extract was produced. The packages were produced and incorporated with different concentrations of B. orellana extract. Phytochemical parameters were tested in several groups of special metabolism; physicochemical for thickness, moisture, solubility, UV-Vis light transmission, color L*, a* and b*; biodegradability… Show more
