Polysaccharides and proteins are the primary components of edible films used for food packaging. Adding plasticizers such as glycerol or sorbitol during manufacturing can help enhance properties derived from biopolymer combinations. In this study, we aimed to produce sodium alginate/gum arabic/gluten evaluate effects various concentrations on films’ physical, mechanical, barrier, optical properties. Using solvent casting, an film based was plasticized with either at 2, 4, 6% (w/v). The were then characterized. Decreases in solubility, tensile strength, water vapor transmission rate observed when higher added. had lowest rates. addition, glycerol, regardless concentration, lower transparency values than those sorbitol. addition insignificant thickness L films. absorption peaks Fourier-transform infrared spectra patterns similar, confirming there interaction between polymers. Together, results demonstrate that compatible film-forming solutions, indicating obtained could be employed
