Abstract

Beeswax is a lipid component obtained from the dregs of cooked honey and then filtered to obtain wax. The advantages of beeswax as a raw material for edible film are that it is classified as food grade, available throughout the year, use is still limited, price is relatively cheap, and easy to obtain. This article aims to provide a review of the effect of adding beeswax to fish gelatin and nanochitosan edible films on mechanical characteristics (tensile strength and percent elongation) and antibacterial activity (inhibition zone test).

Keywords: Edible film, gelatin, nanochitosan, beeswax
