Películas comestibles a base de alginato de sodio adicionado con miel de abeja (Apis mellifera): propiedades fisicoquímicas, mecánicas y bioactivas

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Edible films were developed and characterized using 2% sodium alginate with different concentrations of Apis mellifera honey (0, 1, 2.5, and 5% w/v) to evaluate the effect of honey on their physicochemical, mechanical, optical, and bioactive properties. The incorporation of 5% honey into the films resulted in greater thickness (0.14 mm), lower moisture content (13.28%), and lower VTVA (154.86 g/h m.). It also increased elongation at break, resulting in greater plasticity and flexibility, as well as higher polyphenol content and antioxidant capacity. It confirmed the potential effect of adding honey to the development of edible films for food preservation applications.
