“…Ongoing research endeavors aim to broaden the scope of applications for gelatin-based coatings and films, exploring innovative formulations and processing techniques. The sustainability and biocompatibility of gelatin position it as a promising material for future advancements in areas such as food packaging, drug delivery, and the development of biodegradable plastics [35,[71][72][73][74]. As the demand for sustainable packaging continues to rise, the development of protein-based edible films and coatings is an area of ongoing research [1,75].…”
