Abstract

Plastic waste from packaging poses a serious environmental problem due to its persistence and contribution to microplastic formation. Bigels, composed of hydrogel and oleogel, have emerged as an innovative approach to eco-friendly food packaging. This study aimed to analyze the effect of varying hydrogel-oleogel ratios on the physicochemical properties of bigel-based bioplastic films for food packaging applications. An experimental design was employed using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and five replications. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, and when significant (p
