Resumen:
Pectin is one of the main components of the plant cell wall chemically constituted by poly α1-4-galacturonic acids. Due to its biodegradability, biocompatibility, edibility, and versatile chemical and physical properties, pectin is a suitable polymeric matrix for the elaboration of active food packaging. This work presents results about pectin film preparation and characterization. Results showed active food packaging from pectin were strength resistant as well as flexible; highly permeable to water vapor and successful fresh food preserver
