Mung bean starch (MBS)-based edible films with incorporation of guar gum (GG) and sunflower seed oil (SSO) were developed in this study. MBS, GG, and SSO were used as the main filmogenic biopolymer, thickener, and hydrophobicity-imparting substance, respectively. to investigate the effect of SSO content on the physicochemical, mechanical, and optical properties of the films, they were supplemented with various concentrations (0, 0.5, 1, and 2%, w/w) of SSO. Increasing SSO content tended to decrease tensile strength, elongation at break, crystallinity, water solubility, and the water vapor permeability; in contrast, it increased the oxygen transmission rate and water contact angle. Consequently, the incorporation of SSO into the matrix of MBS-based films decreased their mechanical strength but effectively enhanced their water-resistance properties. Therefore, the MBSbased film developed here can be properly used as an edible film in settings that require high waterresistance properties but do not call for robust mechanical strength. Edible films and coatings improve the quality of foods by protecting them from physicochemical and biological deterioration. Examples of such deterioration events include weight loss or gain, the disappearance of the original texture, discoloration, flavor change, and growth of microorganisms. The main ingredients of edible films and coatings are edible filmogenic biopolymers, such as proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, or combinations of these molecules. Plasticizers, cross-linkers, and other food-grade additives are combined with the filmogenic biopolymers to modify the properties or functionalities of the edible films and coatings 1. Edible films and coatings have been studied extensively using various materials to improve food quality. For example, the application of a carboxymethyl-cellulose-based coating onto beef patties suppresses lipid oxidation and microbial growth 2. Waxy corn starch-and gellan gum-based coating on rice cakes delays their retrogradation (hardening) and helps maintain their chewy texture 3. Soy protein coating on walnut kernels retards lipid oxidation 4. Carnauba waxbased coating on eggplants helps maintain firmness, color, and antioxidant activity 5. Similarly, many different ingredients are used for manufacturing edible films and coatings. Among these diverse sources of materials, starch is the most significant polysaccharide polymer because it has a superb ability to form a compact, homogenous, and continuous matrix. Therefore, starch-based films have high oxygen-barrier ability and good mechanical strength. In addition, starch is renewable, biodegradable, non-toxic, tasteless, odorless, colorless, abundant, and low in cost 6,7. Starchy foods include potatoes, corn, peas, wheat, and bananas. Mung beans (Vigna radiata L.) are starch-rich foods. Mung bean starch (MBS) has a high amylose content (30-45%) 8 , which is higher than that of cereals and tubers 9 .
