  • <p>The escalating ecological impact of single-use plastics has accelerated research into bio-based packaging materials. This study reports the formulation of an eco-friendly, edible, and compostable food-packaging film using konjac-derived glucomannan as the principal polymer, plasticised with glycerol and reinforced with gelatin, cellulose, and gum tragacanth. A water-based casting process produced transparent films in 8– 10 h (45–55 °C) or 24–36 h (25 °C, 50 % RH). Qualitative assessments showed improved flexibility, tensile integrity, and moisture resistance compared with neat konjac films. The work demonstrates the technical feasibility of scaling konjac films as a circular-economy alternative to petro-chemical plastics.</p>
