Protein films are thin, transparent films made from natural proteins such as gelatin, whey protein, and casein. These films are used as packaging materials in the food industry, as they provide a biodegradable and sustainable alternative to traditional plastic packaging. Protein films are made by dissolving protein in water and then spreading the solution onto a surface to form a thin film. The film is then dried and can be shaped into various packaging forms, such as bags or trays.
