Abstract

ABSTRACT In this study, we developed starch‐based bionanocomposite films by incorporating Peganum harmala extract (PE) and titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles into a sago‐starch matrix. We evaluated their physicochemical properties and their ability to retard lipid oxidation and preserve sensory quality in chicken fillets during 12 days of refrigerated storage (4°C). The optimal film formulation containing 3% TiO 2 and 10% PE exhibited a significantly reduced moisture content (6.16% ± 0.37% vs. 10.53% ± 0.39% in the control), lower water solubility (18.74% ± 0.49% vs. 23.94% ± 0.82%), and enhanced water absorption capacity (1.60 ± 0.04 vs. 2.19 ± 0.07 g/g). Mechanical testing showed that its tensile…
