The aim of this work was to assess the effect of fish gelatin–citric acid nucleophilic substitution and agar–citric acid esterification reactions on the properties of agar/fish gelatin films. Since temperature is an important cross-linking parameter, films were treated at 90 °C and 105 °C and film properties were compared to those of non-cured films. It was observed that temperature favored the aforementioned reactions, which induced physical and morphological changes. In this regard, darker films with a rougher surface were obtained for the films with a higher cross-linking degree. While mechanical properties were slightly modified, the barrier properties were enhanced due to the reactions that occurred. Therefore, these agar/fish gelatin films cross-linked through two different reactions can be considered to be promising materials as active films for different purposes, such as active packaging or pharmaceutical applications.

Starch is highly promising biopolymer for the production of packaging material since it gives films a good tensile and gas barrier properties. However, non-plasticized starch films are brittle and their hydrophilic character results in poor moisture barrier properties and high water sensitivity. In order to improve films formation and material properties of starch, plasticization and chemical modification such as cross-linking of the starch is required. The cross-linking reaction able to improve thermal stability, tensile strength and decreased the dissolution of starch films in water and formic acid. From the study, the percentage of water uptake reduced when the blending ratio of citric acid increased.The percentage of water uptake highly affected by curing time compared to blending ratio. Increasing the curing time from 1 hour to 2 hour significantly reduced the percentage of water uptake. At 4 hour curing time, the percentage water uptake reached equilibrium faster than 3 hour curing time. This shows that more citric acid molecules were chemically bonded with the starch chains, resulting in higher cross link degree and thus, reduced the percentage of water uptake.

Gelatin was extracted from fish scales in this work, in an attempt to valorise abundant and available fishery by-products as an approach towards a more circular economy. With this strategy in mind, fish scale gelatin was used to prepare active films. In this regard, the development of advanced materials from gelatin involves its modification to enhance functional properties, particularly barrier properties, to achieve the requirements for specific value-added purposes, such as food or pharmaceutical/biomedical applications. The improvement of those functional properties can be achieved by means of chemical cross-linking processes. In this context, non-enzymatic reactions were carried out with the addition of fructose and ascorbic acid into gelatin film forming formulations, and cross-linking was induced by a heat-treatment. These cross-linking reactions resulted in higher barrier features, especially for those films prepared with ascorbic acid.
