Edible films can be defined as a primary packaging material that is made of edible components, and can be obtained from casting or through thermo-formation for the subsequent coating of a given food surface (Falguera et al., 2011). Edible film has been used to provide moisture barriers on product surfaces, which decreases product weight loss. Also, it helps to control the gas exchange (i.e., decreased respiration, delay of enzymatic oxidation) and the volatile compound exchange between fresh products and the outside atmosphere (Khaliq et al., 2016).
