In this study, thermoplastic starch (TPS) biofilms were developed using isolated from the seeds of Melicoccus bijugatus (huaya) and reinforced with bentonite clays at concentrations 1%, 3%, 5% by weight. Novelty research lies in utilizing a non-conventional source enhancing properties TPS through clay reinforcement. FTIR analysis verified bentonite's nature clays, while SEM provided insights into morphology agglomeration behavior. Key findings include notable increase biofilm thickness elastic modulus higher content. Specifically, tensile strength improved 2.5 MPa for pure to 5.0 The increased 25 60 (5% clay). Thermal stability also showed enhancement, initial degradation temperature increasing 110 °C 130 clay. Water vapor permeability (WVP) tests demonstrated decrease WVP values 4.11 × 10−10 g m−1 s−1 Pa−1 2.09 s−1·Pa−1 clay, indicating significant barrier effect due dispersion. These results suggest that based on huaya have considerable potential sustainable food packaging applications, offering enhanced mechanical properties.
