Abstract

This review discusses the Arabic gum and gelatin-based films used in the food packaging industry. Gelatin is an essential biopolymer derivative of collagen. Various industries widely use it due to its technological and functional characteristics. Several constituents can be used as additives to recover their characteristics and requests. Antioxidants, antimicrobials, and other agents are used to increase customer attention and extend the food products shelf life. Food packaging is planned to protect food products, offer essential information related to the food, and make food handling suitable for consumer delivery. The Arabic gum and gelatin blend is suitable for keeping fruit and vegetables fresh for a long time due to the blended film's ability to cover the food and protect it from microbial and environmental effects. The film's composition of natural components that are safe to eat forms a protective layer to prevent gas, oxygen, and humidity.
