Structure Properties of Gallic Acid‐Enhanced Alginate Hydrogels for Sustainable Food Packaging as Plastic Replacement

ABSTRACT Structure properties of alginate and glycerol hydrogels (93:7 v/v) functionalized with gallic acid (0.1%, 0.5%, and 0.8%) (w/v) were evaluated as plastic alternatives for food packaging. A thorough characterization of these hydrogels was performed, evaluating their physico‐mechanical, optic...
