Polysaccharides, lipids and proteins that can be used to replaced synthetic packaging materials in edible film. Canna starch has the potential to be used as a building material because of its abundant presence, and the modification of chitosan into nanoparticles has antimicrobial properties and adds to the superiority of the film. The addition of fish oil to edible films is a solution to correct the deficiencies of edible film biocomposites, as a delivery system for nutrients and antimicrobials. The characteristics of good edible film have properties like other plastic packaging, namely being easy to shape, transparent, flexible, not easily damaged, and inexpensive.
