The generation of nonbiodegradable waste from food packaging is increasing. Due to the economic unfeasibility segregation and recycling, this material ends up in landfills. To mitigate environmental impact explore alternative biodegradable materials, present study seeks develop foams based on cassava starch by incorporating agro-industrial residues whole grape juice organic seed oil for applications packaging. starch-based were prepared thermal expansion, using varying amounts skin (CA), (SE), defatted with fragments (SEDC) at proportions ranging 10 - 30 wt %. resulting characterized concerning apparent density, moisture content, morphology, water absorption capacity, content total phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, flavonoids, antioxidant thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), mechanical resistance via tensile testing. Incorporating CA, SE, SEDC provided lower density greater expansion capacity. Furthermore, addition SE led a capacity foams, while CA residue promoted an increased Adding these levels higher activity compared control (without residues). Regarding stability, caused decrease stability control. FTIR spectra revealed characteristic bands associated added residues. strength, elongation break, modulus elasticity than sample expanded polystyrene (EPS).
