Recent studies on the application of pomegranate derivatives to films and coatings.

Derivative	Product	Effect	References
peel extract	zein-based film (cheese)	↑tensile strength; ↑antioxidant and antimicrobial activity	[104]
peel extract	chitosan coating (rainbow trout, pacific white shrimp, strawberry)	improvement of functional characteristics of coatings; improvement of sensory characteristics and ↑shelf life of food	[105,106,107,108]
peel powder	starch-based films	better mechanical properties; antimicrobial activity	[109]
peel extract	chitosan/locust gum coating (oranges)	inhibition of Penicillium digitatum; ↑shelf-life of oranges	[110]
peel extract	surimi-based films	superior mechanical properties; improved thermal stability	[111]
juice	bitter vetch seed protein films	antioxidant activity; improvement of physicochemical properties	[112]
